Basic Gunhandling – Loading and Unloading

Here are some basic techniques for loading and unloading a gun. While you practice these, you will want to practice the four laws of gun safety, particularly focusing on 2 and 3: 2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you don’t want to destroy (including your own body parts); 3) keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to shoot.

You’ll also want to obtain some snap caps (fake bullet cartridges) to make you practice session safer.
