Read the first 7 Firearm Safety Rules flashcards as text

  1. What is the safest way to carry a firearm when walking with others in the field?

    Answer: With the muzzle always pointed in a safe direction, away from any person

    The muzzle must always be kept pointed away from any person, regardless of carry method, to comply with the fundamental muzzle control rule.

  2. Under which condition is it permissible to rest your finger on the trigger of a firearm?

    Answer: Only when you have identified your target and are ready to fire

    Your finger should only contact the trigger when you have positively identified your target and made the conscious decision to fire.

  3. A friend hands you a firearm and says 'it's unloaded.' What should you do?

    Answer: Perform the PROVE procedure yourself to confirm it is unloaded

    You must always apply the PROVE procedure yourself regardless of what anyone else tells you, because you are responsible for your own safety.

  4. What is the recommended storage arrangement if a household includes both children and firearms?

    Answer: Store firearms locked and unloaded, with ammunition locked separately and out of children's reach

    Canadian safe storage regulations require firearms to be locked and unloaded, and best practice separates ammunition in a locked location inaccessible to children.

  5. Why should you never look down the barrel of a firearm to check if it is loaded?

    Answer: If the firearm discharges, the shooter would be directly in the path of the bullet

    Looking down the barrel exposes your face directly to the muzzle; any unintended discharge would cause fatal injury.

  6. What should you do if you hear an unusual sound or feel unexpected resistance when firing?

    Answer: Stop firing immediately, unload the firearm, and inspect the barrel for an obstruction

    An unusual sound or resistance may indicate a squib load or barrel obstruction; firing again could cause the barrel to burst and injure the shooter.

  7. Which of the following is NOT a component of the ACTS safe-handling rules?

    Answer: Test the trigger pull before shooting

    ACTS stands for Assume loaded, Control muzzle, Trigger finger off trigger until ready, See your target — testing trigger pull is not part of ACTS.
