Kirkpatrick Offers Tips on Gun Safety

Submitted by lpin on Wed, 07/23/2008 - 16:11 |

BLOOMINGTON, IN -- Knowing gun safety was lesson number one at the target shoot practice at the LPIN gathering in rural Monroe County this past weekend.

Marion County activist and long-time member Bob Kirkpatrick lectured on the four rules of firearms handling prior to target practice:

  • Treat firearms as if they are loaded, no exceptions.
  • Never point a firearm at anything you're not willing to kill, destroy or buy.
  • Keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until your sights are on target and you're ready to shoot.
  • Know your target, what's between and beyond, and what your ammunition can do.
