Code of the Air Rifleman

Treat every gun as if it were loaded and ready to shoot.

Never carry a gun into your home camp or public place loaded or cocked.

Always be sure your gun barrel is clean and not plugged.

Carry your gun so you can control the direction of the muzzle, even if you stumble.

Be sure of your target before you pull the trigger.

Never point a gun at anything you do not want to shoot.

Guns not being used should always be unloaded.

Never climb a tree or fence, or jump a ditch, with a loaded gun.

Never shoot at a flat hard surface or the surface of water.

Respect other people's property.
