The Range - Girls With Guns [Thursday, 5pm]
Triela arrived at the range nearly an hour early to look things over and set up. She also needed the time to go over the four cases which held her own guns to make sure they were ready if anyone needed to borrow one.
She then posted a set of range rules which she had printed neatly using crayons handwavily obtained from her roommate. Who knew that crayons were so useful?
1. Always treat the gun as loaded.
2. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
3. Always keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
4. Always keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it.
5. Never point the gun at anything you don't intend to destroy.
6. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
7. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the gun you are using.
8. Always use proper Ammunition.
9. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before loading and shooting.
10. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, hold your shooting position for several seconds; then with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, carefully unload the gun.
11. Don't rely on the gun's safety to keep it from firing.
12. Be aware of your surroundings when handling guns so you don't trip or lose your balance and accidentally point and/or fire the gun at anyone or anything.
Then she sat back and waited for people to arrive.
[Up early because I'm feeling *gasp* productive today. OCD on the way has arrived. And I'm going to be out for a couple of hours, but will HAVE return! (wow this is getting long)]
