2. BASICS OF FIREARMS SAFETY
• The NRA's three basic rules: always keep the gun pointed in a safe
direction, always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, and
always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use; are common sense rules
that will keep everyone safe. These three rules should be imparted to each
member of your hunting party, regardless of age. Both at home before and
after the hunt, as well as on the hunt itself, the primary word is safety. With
modern high-powered rifles firing ballistic tipped ammunition, 3.5-inch 12
Gauge shotguns with copper solid slugs, and .44 Magnums with trophy
bonded bullets, there is no forgiveness today for being unsafe.
3. TRAVELING CONCERNS
• Not only is it a safe bet, but it's also state law to unload your firearms when in the
boat, truck, on the ATV, or crossing a road in management areas. With this drill
taking place several times on the average public lands hunt, it's a good idea to
practice this at home to make sure you and those who are with you are well aware
of how their gun unloads safely. It's best to store your hunting firearms unloaded in a
case or bag and secured in your trunk, bed, or cab while traveling to and from the
hunting area for the day. I personally have seen hunters with years of experience
come home tired at the end of a trip and leave a hunting rifle loaded for months in
the bag, then pull it out to go to the range and find to their surprise that it was still
fully loaded. Take a minute and make it safe before you come back home.
4. IN THE WOODS
• When walking, unless you are directly stalking an animal, it's a good idea to have
your rifle or shotgun slung with the barrel pointed up and the safety engaged. If you
are a handgun hunter, a good holster with a covered trigger guard and some sort of
strap to retain the firearm should be used while walking. When the firearm is being
carried unslung or out of the holster, the muzzle should be facing to the clouds and
your finger completely out of the trigger guard. Many an old timer will shake his head
and proclaim that the best place for the muzzle is pointed to the ground when
walking, but this can cause just as many problems by pointing at fellow hunter's feet
and legs. Also having your muzzle indexed earthward can lead to it becoming
clogged with mud or debris should you slip-- resulting in a dangerously unsafe
condition.
