1) Treat all firearms as if they are loaded at all times even when you know they are not.

2) Never point any firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy and or kill, even when the firearm is known to be unloaded or safety is on. This includes "sweeping" so always know where your muzzle is.

3) Never load a firearm until you are ready to fire it. Keep in mind that this rule does not necessarily apply to home defense or CC firearms so extra vigilance must be taken to insure those exceptions are handled properly.

4) Know, in full, the proper safe operation of every firearm you own.

5) Never handle a firearm you do not know how to operate fully and safely.

6) Never hand any firearm to an inexperienced person without first explaining the full safe use and operation of that firearm.

7) When you are handed a firearm before doing anything at all with it check to see if it is loaded. Even if the person who gave it to you stated it was unloaded. Then refer back to rule #1.

8) Never be embarrassed to ask questions about a firearm you intend to handle. Never make anyone asking questions about a firearm feel in any way bad about their question.
(I know several gun stores that violate this one, treating some customers like they are below them if they ask a "dumb" question. Gil***t Guns Im looking at you.)

9) Under no circumstances should you ever handle any firearm, loaded or unloaded, while under the influence of drugs or alcohol including over the counter drugs that could impair you in some way, such as some antihistamines can.

10) Be vigilant with all others you encounter and try to instill these basic safety precautions in them as well.

Follow these rules and you have gone a long way to improving your ability to safely handle a firearm but never think you know it all. There is always something useful and important to learn. Continue to seek more information and pass on any information you have to everyone who will listen.
 

We see you posing with your firearm. Its Moronic.

Now a quick note to all on the internet who are posting their pictures of themselves with their guns. First and foremost if you in any way post a picture of you holding or operating a firearm in an unsafe manner then you are a monstrous idiot.

You will notice the photos I have posted are always of the firearms alone. That is so that anyone who searches Google for a firearm finds pictures of my firearm not me. I assure you they are very much not interested in seeing me at all.

Pictures of you holding your guns in general are kinda lame anyhow. No one really cares how you look holding your guns. Anyone looking up firearms on the internet wants to see firearms, not you. The occasional shot of you at the range actually shooting might not be so bad but make sure its heavily complemented with pictures of that same firearm alone so we can see what we actually came to your site to see.

Last for those of you I have seen who try to look "gangsta" with your guns. If you are truly a "gangsta" criminal why would you be so stupid to post your picture on the internet? Don't you realize that all actions on the internet are very easily traced back to you? Maybe you don't but you should. If you are not "gangsta" then why would you want to associate yourself with criminals? Do you think its somehow cool? It really is not.

Either way stop posting those pictures it only serves to make the rest of us think you are a complete idiot. But then again you probably are.
