Frequently Asked Questions

What are the four fundamental rules of gun safety?

The four rules are: 1. Never point a gun at anything you aren't willing to destroy. 2. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. 3. Know your target and what's behind it. 4. Treat every weapon as if it is loaded.

What is a hangfire and how should it be handled?

A hangfire occurs when a firearm discharges seconds after the trigger pull. If it happens, do not look down the barrel or immediately open the action, as the gun may still fire unexpectedly.

Why is using a fake gun for self-defense dangerous?

Using a fake gun for self-defense is extremely dangerous because it can provoke a lethal response from someone carrying a real firearm, escalating the situation to a potentially fatal outcome.

What are the risks associated with illegal firearm modifications like Forced Reset Triggers (FRTs)?

Illegal modifications such as FRTs on AR-15s can lead to unintended burst fire, posing significant safety risks and carrying severe legal consequences for the owner.
