INGunOwners - View Single Post - Firearms Safety Rules (from the late Col Jeff Cooper, shooter, trainer, hero)

kstreeter · 05-01-2009

Lt. Col Jeff Cooper was a Marine and gave us these basic safety rules that we had to repeat every morning on the range before firing.
Treat, Never, Keep, Keep
1)Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
2)Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3)Keep your weapon on safe until you are ready to fire
4)Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you intend to fire

one that a lot of Marine units are starting to adapt due to house clearing and CQC

5)Know your target and what lies beyond
