Study Notes

Firearm Safety and Handling

  • Personal defense firearm training requires more than just learning safe handling.
  • It is essential to study the manufacturer's instructions for proper firearm operation.
  • Correct ammunition is critical; just fitting into the firearm does not ensure it is the right type.
  • Soft or hollow point bullets are generally more effective for self-defense purposes.
  • Always treat every firearm as if it is loaded to uphold safety standards.

Safety Rules and Responsibilities

  • Key safety rules include:
    • Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
    • Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard.
    • Keep the action open and firearm unloaded until ready to use.
  • When at an organized shooting range, understanding and obeying the range rules is everyone's responsibility.
  • Firearm safety is a collective responsibility, and unsafe actions by individuals should be reported to authorities.

Shooting and Maintenance Practices

  • Firearms require correct ammunition and regular cleaning for safe operation.
  • Using force for protection is not always the best approach; retreat may be necessary when feeling threatened.
  • Warning shots are discouraged due to their potential risks and effects on judgment.
  • Before dry firing, unload and verify the firearm is clear.
  • Immediately after shooting, move your finger out of the trigger guard and safely handle the firearm.
  • "Deadly force" is defined as force capable of causing death or serious bodily harm.
  • Justifiable homicide can occur in defense against violent attacks or felonies.
  • Firearms descriptions for CCW permits include revolvers and semi-automatics, with no exceptions.

  • Permittees must notify the issuing sheriff of any address changes or loss/destruction of permits within 30 days.
  • Concealed weapon permit holders must carry proper identification and permit while in possession of a firearm.
  • Homicide is justifiable in defense of oneself and others, including family members present.
  • Violating concealed weapon regulations can lead to arrest; concealment does not exempt accountability.
  • CCW holders can face criminal charges for drawing a firearm in a threatening manner unless it’s in necessary self-defense.
  • Restrictions apply on carrying concealed weapons in certain public locations, such as schools and airports.

Storage and Prevention

  • For long-term storage, firearms should be unloaded, cleaned, lubricated, and secured with appropriate locks or safes.
