Whether you are going out for firing for personal purposes or professional, there are a few thumb rules that must be kept in mind.

Here is the list:

●First, never ever assume a weapon is ready to fire unless you have checked it thoroughly. While a few issues wouldn't come to light till you fire the gun, there are several other potential issues that can be resolved by detailed checking of gun before you press the trigger.

●So, you need to start with checking the accessory set carefully. As the gun box comes to your hand, it is the first thing you need to do. See that all pieces provided with it are compatible with the firearm. Though it is rare to make mistakes, but they do happen. The most common mistake is when they fail to send all parts and something remains missing.

●As a first time buyer, it is also a must that you read everything given in owner’s manual very carefully. You may find it useless at times, but proper details about loading, operation, unloading, and basic maintenance might be given in the manual. So, never ever throw it just like that. Many stuck ups can easily be avoided if you read all that written in fine print.

●Most dealers and gun manufacturers now provide the manuals online. However, if you are buying a gun that was built long back, better take it to a certified gunsmith for a look. It might be a priceless antique with much more value than you can imagine.

●Always clear the barrel before you load the gun especially when you haven't used it in days. You may find some surprising things in there. It is not only accidental injuries that give lessons for life, sometimes the timely precautions also do the job well.

●Finally, with respect to gun safety there is one fundamental rule that you are not allowed to forget - “strip, clean, and lubricate”.
