Gun Guidelines Treat all guns as loaded. Any time you handle a weapon/gun, don't assume it's not loaded; check it and confirm it. Do not point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to shoot, injure or damage. People constantly violate this rule because they think the gun isn't loaded. Keep your finger off the trigger. Until your weapon is on target, your finger should not be on the trigger. Don't shoot anything you can't positively identify. Friendly fire can be a real problem. Know what is behind your target. Know what will stop your bullet if you should miss your target or the bullet goes through your target. Situational awareness is key. Do not horseplay with a gun in your hands. People need to show discipline and give a lethal weapon the proper respect. -- Tech. Sgt. Charles E. Thompson342nd Training Squadron armory NCOIC
