[. . . ] Shooting glasses will guard you against powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles or similar debris that may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use Always make sure that anyone near you is also wearing ear and eye protection. Your firearm has an effective, well-designed safety mechanism. However, there's no safety mecha nism capable of substituting your common sense and good safety procedures. No safety can guard you against horseplay, carelessness, or improper use. It may become ineffective by break age or malfunction due to abusive use, incorrect assembly, or unauthorized adjustments. While handling any firearm, never allow it to point at any part of your body or at another person. No harm should result if you obey this rule, even if an accidental discharge occurs. The safety mechanism should be on until you are actually aiming at the target ready to shoot 4. When turning the safety ON or OFF point the muzzle in a safe direction and keep your finger off , the trigger. Be sure to put the safety in the correct position or it will not be effective. Some firearms have a red warning dot next to the safety which should be totally covered when the safety is on. Do not carry the firearm loaded without the safety on (Double action revolvers and some double action pistols have an automatic internal safety mechanism instead of a manual one). 18 Loading: 1. First, remove the magazine, and then pull the slide or bolt back. Remove the jammed case by shaking the firearm or pick it out with your fingers. Unloading: 1. Be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. After removing the magazine, be sure to clear the chamber 3. Do not assume a firearm is unloaded until you have visually checked it. Transporting and storing your firearm: 1. Always keep your firearm unloaded when transporting it to and from shooting activities. Store firearms and ammunition separately, preferably locked and secured. Keep firearms and ammunition out of reach of children, untrained individuals or careless, unauthorized adults. 20 Semi-automatic pistols: 1. Carrying a semi-automatic pistol with a cartridge in the chamber greatly increases the chances of accidental firing.
