Weapon handling protocols
Firearm safety refers to practices and principles for handling guns without causing unintended harm.
Core rules include treating every firearm as loaded, keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, and never placing a finger on the trigger until ready to shoot.
The instructor emphasized firearm safety before anyone touched a weapon.
The term also covers secure storage to prevent unauthorized access.
