Let’s talk about firearms. First a few rules. Guns, by themselves are not inherently dangerous; poorly trained, and irresponsible people with guns are dangerous. If treated with respect firearms are no more dangerous than any other tool. So here are the rules.
1) Know your firearm. Take the time to research what you want, how it works, understand the safety features, and the risks. Research and fully understand the rules and regulations of your jurisdiction.
2) Every gun you ever touch is loaded, even if you know it’s not loaded…Treat it like it is, building safe habits is good for everyone. This means always checking to see if it’s loaded, always pointing it in a safe direction, away from people, pets, and things you do not want to shoot.
3) Plenty of practice. There is no substitute for experience. This enhances your ability to handle your firearm in a safe manner, and it’s a lot of fun. It helps to take a safety course, and in some jurisdictions it is required. All family members should take a course, even if they will not be handling the firearm. Education can go a long way to prevent accidents. For more information on responsible ownership please visit http://www.nra.org/home.aspx
4) Cleaning and storage. Keeping you firearm clean is critical to proper and safe function. To this end there are cleaning kits for each type of firearm. The cleaning process also affords you the opportunity to disassemble, and reassemble your firearm. There are several storage options depending on the size of your firearm. A floor, or wall safe is a good option for smaller firearms, and have the added bonus of having space to store critical documents like passports, and birth certificates. A large floor safe is a good option for long firearms like rifles or shotguns, and can also be used for document storage. Another option is the gun vault which is made for handguns, and allows for quick deployment.
It is very important to keep your firearms in a low humidity environment. A desiccant bag or dehumidifier for your safe will keep your firearms free from corrosion and help keep the working properly for a long time. To learn more about gun safes and accessories visit http://www.gunsafes.com/
Please always remember…Firearms are used for hunting, competition, sport and protection.
