Basic Gun Safety Rules

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Common sense will tell you which direction is the safest depending on your surroundings.
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your trigger finger outside the trigger guard alongside the gun. This will often be the hardest part for kids to remember.
Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Demonstrate to your child how to check if a gun is loaded and where the safety mechanism is located.
