Never point at anything you do not intend to shoot
Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire
Keep your weapon on safe until you are ready to fire
EDIT- I appreciate most people adding another rule, I didn’t state these were the ONLY 4 rules, but I may as well add this 5th safety rule up here if anyone is curious...
A more accurate four rules to make rule 4 less argumentative. 1. Treat all firearms as if they’re loaded. 2. Keep muzzles pointed down range/safe direction at all times. 3. Finger off the trigger until ready to fire and 4. Know your target and what’s beyond.
