From the very moment you pick up your first gun, it is crucial that you understand your responsibility to safety, not only for yourself but for those around you. The message is preached by range officers, instructors and gun owners alike: Safety comes first, always, and everywhere. Additionally, gun safety and awareness have preserved and protected the opportunities firearm owners enjoy.
