Safety
Alcohol, Drugs, & Firearms Do Not Mix:
Individuals under the influence of alcohol or drugs will not
be allowed to participate in any shooting exercises. Even
non-prescription drugs can impair the shooter's ability to
safely handle or shoot a firearm.
No "Bending Over" on the Range. It presents
the top of your head to fire, cuts down on your field of
vision, and is a poor tactic. If you need something on the
ground, step into a kneeling position, and reach for the
item(s) while keeping behind all muzzles

Range Safety Rules |
|
|
It is everyone’s responsibility to keep himself, and
everyone else, safe. Safety must be a personal
commitment by everyone at all times. |
Upon hearing "Cease Fire," immediately STOP whatever
you are doing, remain in position, repeat the "Cease
Fire" command and await further instructions. |
Remember, anyone seeing a dangerous situation about
to occur or occurring, and cannot correct it, yells
"Cease Fire." Everyone must be highly aware and
involved in the training.. |

Safety - Firearms Not In Use
|
|
|
Gun safety for situations where firearms are not in
use is intended to prevent access to and subsequent
discharge of a firearm. Preventing access to
firearms can serve a double purpose in that it can
also protect the firearm from theft. |
 |
A Gun safe or
gun cabinet is commonly used to physically prevent
access to a firearm. These have the primary purpose
of preventing theft.

Types Of Locks |
|
|
There are several types of locks that make it
difficult to discharge a firearm. Locks are
considered less effective than keeping firearms
stored in a safe. |
 |
Locks are more easily defeated than approved safes.
After stealing a locked firearm, a thief can bypass
the lock at their leisure. |
Trigger Locks prevent motion of the
trigger. However a trigger lock does not guarantee
that the firearm cannot be discharged (see above).
Some trigger locks are integrated into the design of
the weapon, requiring no external parts besides the
key.
|
Chamber Locks aim to block
ammunition from being chambered, since most firearms
typically cannot be discharged unless the ammunition
is in the correct position.
|
Cable
Locks are a popular type of chamber lock
that usually threads through the breech and ejection
port of repeating-action firearms. They generally
prevent full cycling of the action, especially
preventing a return to "battery", with the breech
fully closed. In many designs of pistol and rifle,
they also prevent the proper insertion of a magazine |
