Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three acceptable situations for pointing a firearm at yourself?

It is acceptable to point a firearm at yourself when it is completely unloaded and you are performing maintenance on a workbench, at gun shows where firearms are rendered inoperable, or when carrying a loaded firearm in a properly designed holster that covers the trigger guard.

How can you ensure a firearm is safe to handle at a workbench?

Before handling a firearm at a workbench, ensure it is completely unloaded. Verify this by visually inspecting the chamber and physically inserting a finger into the chamber to confirm it is empty.

Why are firearms at gun shows considered safe to be pointed in various directions?

Firearms displayed at gun shows are made inoperable. This is typically achieved by removing firing pins or using blocking screws, ensuring they cannot be accidentally discharged even if pointed towards someone.

Is it safe to carry a loaded firearm in a holster?

Yes, it is generally safe to carry a loaded firearm in a holster, provided the holster is designed to completely cover the trigger guard. This prevents the trigger from being accidentally pulled, even when sitting or moving.
