It’s easy to say that the most important part of being a gun-owner is practicing gun safety. At PSI, we take safety very seriously. We’ve compiled a small list of gun-safety tips to keep in mind when handling a firearm.
1. Handle any firearm as you would if it was loaded.
2. Don’t joke around. You should never pretend to shoot something, or point the gun at something you don’t actually mean to destroy.
3. Be aware. It’s important to be aware of your surroundings, your target, and what is beyond your target. A gun can be more powerful than you think, and the target may be less powerful than you think. The bullet may go through the target, so its important to pay attention to what else it might hit in the process.
4. Don’t touch the trigger. Unless you are pointing your gun towards your target and are ready to shoot, keep your finger off the trigger. Every time you touch the trigger, you risk possibility of accidentally shooting the gun.
5. Keep your firearms stored safely and properly.
This last tip is especially important to us. If you own a firearm, you usually know the best way to handle it, but do you know the best way to store it? You should never keep a gun out where inexperienced friends, family, or children could get ahold of it. For this reason, it’s important to lock your firearms in a case. The best cases to look into are custom cases from one of our strategic partners, SKB.
SKB offers a wide range of custom cases for your firearms. These include cases that are airtight, waterproof and dust proof, have adjustable foam interiors, and much more. If you’re looking for a case that holds two rifles, SKB can provide you with a case that has a convoluted bunk bed style foam interior. If you’re looking for a small case to hold a pistol, SKB can provide you with a case with a custom interior that has an adjustable high-density foam cutout to fit various pistols. No matter the size or type of your firearm, SKB is the place to go for custom cases.
Practicing gun safety is one of the most important parts of being a gun-owner, and having the right case can help you do so!
