Never take a firearm from another person unless it is unloaded, visually and physically checked to confirm it is unloaded, and the action is open. 10.AVOID ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR JUDGMENT / REFLEX IMPAIRING MEDICATION WHEN SHOOTING. Do not drink and shoot. If you take medication that can impair motor reactions or judgment, do not handle a firearm while you are under the influence of the medication. 11.NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. Unload a firearm before putting it in a vehicle (chamber empty, magazine empty). Hunters and target shooters should load their firearm only at their destination, and only when they are ready to shoot. If you carry a firearm for self-protection, leaving the chamber unloaded can reduce the chance of an unintentional discharge. 12.LEAD WARNING. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handling ammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure. 35
