Part 2/4:
Never Point a Gun at Anything Unintended
Another essential rule is to never point a firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot or destroy. Keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction minimizes the risk of accidental discharge causing harm. This habit helps maintain control and ensures that accidental injuries are averted.
Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until Ready to Fire
Maintaining proper trigger discipline is vital. Never place your finger on the trigger until you have made the decision and are prepared to shoot. This practice prevents accidental discharges caused by unintentional or premature trigger engagement, which can have devastating consequences.
