Frequently Asked Questions

What are the three fundamental rules of gun safety to remember in a gun store?

Always treat any firearm as if it's loaded, always keep it pointed in a safe direction (typically down), and always keep your trigger finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire. Adhering to these basic rules will prevent most issues.

Why should you never announce that you are armed in a gun store?

Announcing you are armed is unnecessary and can cause alarm or be misinterpreted as a threat, potentially leading to panic or a dangerous situation. If you are carrying concealed, there is no need to reveal it.

What is the proper procedure for bringing a firearm into a gun store for sale or repair?

Ensure the firearm is unloaded, place it in a secure box, and then hand it to an employee or place it on the counter. Inform them what is inside the box and your reason for bringing it, then let them open it.

Can I dry fire a firearm in a gun store?

You should only dry fire a firearm in a gun store with explicit permission from an associate. While modern firearms are often durable, some, like rimfire models or budget revolvers, can be damaged by dry firing on an empty chamber.
