Отрывок из книги
Safety with handguns is one of the most critical aspects of handgun training. Because of the size and portability of handguns, they are prone to being inadvertently pointed in directions that the possessor does not intentionally desire. Often when an individual is addressed while holding a handgun, he or she will turn to face the person speaking and thereby accidentally point the pistol at that individual or some other unsuspecting person on the range. For that reason, shooters must be aware of the muzzle orientation of their pistol at all times, keep their finger off the trigger unless firing the weapon, and if at all possible, safe the pistol and return it to the holster or render it safe and point it in a safe direction when interacting with others that are not hostile.
There is often confusion between what I will refer to as “administrative protocol” and “weapons safety.” Administrative protocol or a “range-ism” consists of what each range institution has decided it will or will not allow and generally consists of guidelines on how it wants training conducted. Some of these are safety oriented but more often than not, they are designed to limit the range of actions that can be taken by a shooter and thereby not give that shooter the opportunity to make a mistake. The practical downside to most of these restrictions is that they do not coincide with combat-oriented training, and shooters learn to act only if directed to do so and begin to stop thinking independently for fear of being reprimanded. They will wait to be directed and conduct actions that often defy common sense without a second thought, and that action creates a substantial safety risk.

•Treat all weapons as though they are loaded, regardless of their condition.
•Never point a weapon at anything you are not willing to kill or damage.
