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.
Firearm Definition and Legal Guidelines

- Justifiable homicide can occur in defense against violent attacks or felonies.
