Gun Safety 101: Essential Tips for Responsible Gun Ownership

Ensuring Safe Handling & Storage of Firearms

Firearms are powerful tools that demand respect and responsible handling. Whether you’re a seasoned shooter or a new gun owner, prioritizing gun safety is essential. Here are some fundamental tips to ensure the safe handling and storage of your firearms:

  • Always treat every firearm as if it’s loaded. This means keeping your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot and maintaining muzzle awareness at all times.
  • Know your target and what’s beyond it. Never fire a weapon unless you are certain of your target and what lies behind it. A stray bullet can cause serious harm or even death
  • Store your firearms securely. When not in use, firearms should be stored unloaded in a locked safe. Ammunition should also be stored separately in a secure location.
  • Take a gun safety course. Investing in a gun safety course from a qualified instructor is an excellent way to learn proper firearm handling techniques and safety protocols. Benson’s Gun Shop offers a variety of gun safety classes to suit all experience levels.
