Hey GenXers, Ed Wasson, aka Wilkise here... 

Now I'm going to go over the 4 firearms safety rules. 

Here we go. 

Number one. 

All weapons are always loaded. 

Let me say again, Number one, all weapons are always loaded. 

Never assume otherwise 

 never pick up and handle a firearm and assume and assume its not loaded. 

You pick it up. 

You don't know how to unload it. 

Don't bother, Handling it. 

To make sure it's unloaded, you physically and visually check that chamber. 

In most cases you can try to do it basically as will look in there and stick your finger in there.  

Make sure there's nothing in the chamber, it's unloaded,  

number one All weapons are always loaded  

Number two Never pointThe barrel or muzzle end of any firearm at anyone or anything you are not willing to destroy. 

You already know it’s loaded 

You’ve got a firearm in your hand. 

It is of upmost importance and gravitas that you understand this is not a toy. 

This is not a game. 

This is not Halo or Call of Duty. 

You hold in your hands, an instrument of death. 

Guns don't kill people, People kill people and in some cases stupid people kill people with guns because they didn't Abide by their full Firearm safety rules in most cases. 

Right, so anyway. 

Number two never point The muzzle or barrel end of any firearm at anyone or anything you are not willing to destroy. 

Any firearms range Indoor outdoor You're always almost either pointing up or pointing down. 

Number three Keep a straight trigger. 

You see it in all the movies. 

It's cool they got a straight trigger finger. 

Always keep a straight trigger finger. 

Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and more, ready to engage or fire. 

And #4. be sure of your target. 

Check your target and check your background. 

Don't lean it and join it and stick your firearm around the corner and just start shooting. 

So again in Conclusion there's your 4 firearms safety rules. 

Number one. 

All weapons are always loaded. Never assume otherwise. 

Number two  

never point the muzzle or barrel end of any firearm, at anyone or anything you are not willing to destroy. 

Number three 

keep a straight trigger finger and keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target 

Number four 

 be sure of your target and check your target and background.
