  31. FIREARM SAFETY AND RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNERSHIP

  32. FOUR RULES OF GUN SAFETY • Consider all firearms as loaded. • Never let the muzzle of the firearm point at anything you do not intend to destroy. • Keep your finger off the trigger unless you are ready to fire. • Be sure of your target and what lies beyond and around it before you shoot.

  33. FIREARM SAFETY CHECK • 1. Make sure that the muzzle of the firearm is always pointed in a safe direction; • Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, and engage any external safety; • Remove the magazine from the firearm and place in a safe location (inside your pocket or range bag or on top of your work table);

  34. FIREARM SAFETY CHECK • Pull back the pistol slide and hold open, while visually inspecting the chamber through the ejection port to ensure that there is no bullet in the chamber; • Release the slide and rack it back and forth twice to ensure that the firearm is unloaded; • Pull back the pistol slide completely and engage the slide stop; or point the firearm in a safe direction and pull the trigger.

  35. FIREARM SAFETY TIPS 1. It is better to gun proof your children than to child proof a gun. 2. If a child finds a gun, they should be taught to: STOP and DO NOT TOUCH THE GUN Leave the area immediately Tell a responsible adult what he found

  36. FIREARM SAFETY TIPS • Be sure that your firearm is combat ready and safe to operate; • Seek professional training and train with your own firearm; • Use only the correct ammunition. Be careful of “hot” loads; • Wear eye and and ear protection as appropriate; • Never take a gun away from someone by pulling on the barrel;

  37. FIREARM SAFETY TIPS • Never use drugs or alcohol before or during a day of shooting; • Never shoot into water and avoid ricochets. Do not shoot at heavy objects such as junked cars, gas tanks and abandoned refrigerators; • While hunting, be completely aware of the whereabouts of your buddies, and never shoot at sound or movement while hunting.

  38. FIREARM SAFETY TIPS • Be aware that certain firearms and activities have additional rules and precautions. • Never climb a tree or fence or jump a ditch with a loaded gun; • Always obey firing range rules and your Range Safety Officer; • Never rely solely on the safety devices of your firearm. It is only a piece of equipment that can malfunction;

  39. FIREARM SAFETY TIPS • 15.Never allow horseplay with your firearm; • 16.Carry firearms in appropriate gun cases; • 17.Be sure that your barrel is clear of obstructions before firing.

  40. FIREARM CARRY AND TRANSPORT • When transporting or carrying firearms: • Never carry your handgun in your pocket, purse or waistband. Use a proper gun case or holster; • Always transport your firearm in a safe, unloaded condition; • When carrying a loaded firearm, make sure that the safety is engaged. A better option is to carry the handgun with a loaded magazine but with an empty chamber.

  41. FIREARM CARRY AND TRANSPORT • Carry loaded revolvers with an empty chamber under the hammer. • Always bring the original copy of the firearm license and transport permits or permits to carry firearms when taking firearms outside of residences. All are required to show these documents when requested by any law enforcement officer.

  42. ELEMENTS OF HANDGUN MARKSMANSHIP

  43. MARKSMANSHIP The skillful art of shooting and hitting a target at a given range or known distance. 1. Master Eye 2. Two-Handed Grip 3. Shooting Stance 4. Sight Picture and Alignment 5. Breath Control 6. Trigger Control 7. Follow Through

  44. MASTER EYE Identify the master or dominant eye which shall be used for purposes of aiming or acquiring the sight picture and sight alignment.

  45. TWO-HANDED GRIP The handgun must be held by the strong hand against the base of the palm by middle, ring and small fingers in a manner that will place the web of the hand in the highest possible position. The thumb should lock down and press against the opposite side of the pistol grip, with the trigger finger relaxed outside the trigger guard.

  46. TWO-HANDED GRIP The base of the weak hand palm should achieve contact with the uncovered area of the pistol grip, with the fingertips of the weak hand wrapping around the pistol grip and touching the knuckles of the strong hand. The weak hand thumb should be tucked in with the strong hand thumb.

  47. SHOOTING STANCE • Feet should be held parallel and slightly apart • Knees should be flexed or slightly bent. • Head should be held steady with eyes fixed on the target. • Shoulders should be held square to the body and parallel to the feet.

  48. SHOOTING STANCE 5. Handgun should be held out at eye level in a two-handed grip, with elbows slightly bent. 6. Upper body should lean slightly forward. 7. Hips should be held loose and comfortable.

  49. SHOOTING STANCE Viewed from the top, the pistol forms the apex of a triangle formed by both arms as the two sides and the shoulders as the base. Hence the term, ‘The Isosceles Stance’.
