What are the safety precautions on handling shotguns proposed by the NRA in Illinois?
I was wondering if you could tell me about the safety precautions on handling shotguns proposed by the NRA in Illinois?
Certainly, the NRA proposes several safety precautions for handling shotguns in Illinois:
- Always point the shotgun in a safe direction, whether or not it is loaded.
- Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot.
- Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
- Keep the shotgun unloaded until ready to use.
- Store the shotgun unloaded and locked in a secure location, out of the reach of children and other unauthorized persons.
