    Study Notes

    General Safety Guidelines

    • Always be muzzle conscious and never point a firearm at another person unless they are a target.
    • Ensure firearms are properly secured in a holster to prevent accidental discharge.

    Safe Storage and Handling

    • Always keep firearms unloaded when in storage or not in use to prevent accidental discharge.
    • Unloaded firearms should be stored securely in a safe or appropriate container to prevent unauthorized access.
    • Handle firearms only when necessary, as they are not toys.

    Modification and Repair

    • Never attempt to modify a firearm, as only a qualified gunsmith should perform such tasks.

    Firing Safety

    • Always ensure you have a clear understanding of your surroundings before firing, as you cannot recall a bullet once it's been fired.
    • Never fire a firearm into the air, as the bullet can cause harm when it returns to the ground.
    • When firing a warning shot, ensure you know where the bullet will stop to avoid causing harm.

    Ammunition and Maintenance

    • Only use the correct ammunition that matches your license, as specified by the authorities.
    • Ensure the barrel is free of obstructions and excessive oil, as oil in the barrel can damage it when fired.
    • Clean your firearm regularly, especially after firing, to maintain its performance and longevity.

    Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

    • Always wear eye and ear protection when handling firearms, and use earmuffs and earplugs when shooting at an indoor range.

    Safety Around Others

    • Keep firearms out of reach of children to prevent accidents.
    • If possible, issue a verbal warning before shooting to alert those in the surrounding area.

    Unloading and Maintenance

    • When unloading a semi-auto pistol, remember to remove the round in the chamber.
    • Regularly inspect your firearm to ensure it's in good working order before carrying it.
