Welcome

Firearms safety rules.
Treat all guns as if they are loaded:
Always know the condition of your gun.
Never Let the Muzzle Cover anything you're not willing to destroy.
Down, out, or up, always index your gun in the safest direction possible.
Keep your finger outside the trigger-guard until your sights are on target and prepared to shoot.
Consciously work your safeties and trigger.
Always be certain of your target and beyond.
Be aware of your angles of engagement. And aware of your offsets both lights and sights.
