The Four Five Six Rules of Firearms Handling
by Jeff Cooper (Additions by DesertRat66)
Rule 1
All guns are always loaded
Rule 2
Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not prepared to destroy
You may not wish to destroy it, but you must be clear in your mind that you are quite ready to if you let that muzzle cover the target. To allow a firearm to point at another human being is a deadly threat, and should always be treated as such.
Rule 3
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target
This we call the Golden Rule because its violation is responsible for about 80 percent of the firearms disasters we read about.
Rule 4
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it
You never shoot at anything until you have positively identified it. You never fire at a shadow, or a sound, or a suspected presence. You shoot only when you know absolutely what you are shooting at and what is beyond it.
Rule 5
Be sure your guns are never accessible to unauthorized or untrained individuals
Rule 6(The Dick Cheney Rule)
Alcohol and Guns in any quantity DO NOT mix
If you take even a sip of an alcoholic bevereage your are done handling firearms for the day. If you wake up with a hangover DO NOT handle firearms. Firearms are extremely dangerous devices where even a millisecond of inattention can get someone killed or seriously injured.
NOTE: While the most important rules are #1-4 everyone should follow all the rules listed here.
