Safety and Storage
Safety is the foundation of responsible ownership. This page covers the fundamentals of safe handling, secure storage, and building the skills that keep you, your family, and your community safe.
Safety Is Non-Negotiable
Safety guides everything we do. Whether you are new to firearms or experienced, these fundamentals always apply.
- Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
- Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.
- Know your target and what is beyond it.
- Store firearms securely and prevent unauthorized access.
- Keep firearms inaccessible to children and prohibited persons.
- Use only ammunition specifically identified by the firearm manufacturer.
- Read and follow the manufacturer’s manual.
- Seek qualified instruction.
- Follow all applicable federal, state, local, and range rules.
Safe storage at home
Secure storage protects your household and helps prevent theft and unauthorized access. A good storage plan keeps firearms inaccessible to children and prohibited persons while remaining practical for you.
Prevent unauthorized access
Consider a quality safe, lockbox, or other secure solution appropriate to your situation. Store firearms and ammunition thoughtfully, and keep keys and combinations protected.
Transport considerations
How you transport a firearm can be governed by federal, state, and local law. As a general practice, transport firearms unloaded and secured, and confirm the specific rules that apply to your route and destination.
