7. Before firing, clean any grease or oil out of the barrel
with a cleaning rod and patch. Grease or heavy
accumulation of oil can cause excessive pressures
and result in serious personal injury.
8. Keep barrel, chamber and action free of rust. Rust in
the barrel and chamber can cause excessive pressures
resulting in serious injury. A rusted, pitted or eroded
barrel should be replaced.
9. Use hearing protection to prevent ear damage
from repeated exposure to gunfire.
10. Always use proper shooting glasses to prevent
eye injury from flying particles.
11. Never carry a loaded firearm in a motor vehicle or
carry one into a dwelling. Always carefully unload the
firearm before entering a motor vehicle, a dwelling or
an area such as a camp. Always point your firearm in a
safe direction while loading or unloading to prevent
serious injury in case of an accidental discharge.
Never load your firearm in a house or in a vehicle.
12. Never shoot at a hard, flat surface or at the surface
of water to avoid a ricochet and possible serious
personal injury to yourself or a bystander.
13. Store firearms in a clean, dry place out of reach of
children and separated from stored ammunition.
14. Never alter any parts of your firearm. Any alterations
or adjustments that may become necessary to the
operating mechanism should be performed by a
qualified gunsmith.
15. Hunting from elevated surfaces, such as tree stands, is
dangerous. Doing so may increase the risk of handling
any firearm. Always make certain that the stand being
used is safe, sturdy and stable. Always make certain
your firearm is unloaded when it is being taken up and
down from the stand. Always make certain that your
firearm is not dropped from the stand or dropped while
it is being taken up or down from the stand.
16. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas,
cleaning firearms or handling ammunition may result
in exposure to lead and other substances known to
cause birth defects, reproductive harm and other
serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at
all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
