THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF FIREARM SAFETY
1.Watch that muzzle! Keep it pointed in a safe
direction at all times.
2. Treat every firearm with the respect due a
loaded gun. It might be, even if you think it isn’t.
3. Be sure of the target and what is
in front of it and beyond it. Know
the identifying features of the game
you hunt. Make sure you have an
adequate backstop -- don’t shoot at a
flat, hard surface or water.
4. Keep your finger outside the
trigger guard until ready to shoot.
This is the best way to prevent an
accidental discharge.
5. Check your barrel and ammunition. Make sure
the barrel and action are clear of obstructions and
carry only the proper ammunition for your firearm.
6. Unload firearms when not in use. Leave actions
open and carry firearms in cases and unloaded to
and from the shooting area.
7. Point a firearm only at something you intend to
shoot. Avoid all horseplay with a gun.
8. Don’t run, jump or climb with a loaded firearm.
Unload a firearm before you climb a fence or tree,
or jump a ditch. Pull a firearm toward you by the
butt, not the muzzle.
9. Store firearms and ammunition separately and
safely. Store each in secured locations beyond the
reach of children and careless adults.
10. Avoid alcoholic beverages before or during
shooting. Also avoid mind- or behavior- altering
medicines or drugs.
The responsibility for the future of hunting
begins with you. The ethical utilization and
conservation of wildlife is critical to ensure
the survival of Michigan’s resources for future
generations.
The Michigan Department of Natural
Resources is committed to
the conservation, protection,
management, use and
enjoyment of the State’s
natural resources for current
and future generations.
The Natural Resources
Commission is the governing
body for the Michigan
Department of Natural
Resources. In providing a
strategic framework for the
DNR to electively manage the state’s resources,
the NRC works closely with a broad cross-section
of constituencies to establish and continuously
improve natural resources management policy.
