At whatever point you handle a firearm, regardless of whether you're almost certain it's emptied!
Open the action instantly and outwardly check the load, recipient, and magazine to be sure there is no ammo inside. Never expect that a gun is emptied. A gun should just be stacked when you are in the field or on the objective range or shooting zone.
On the off chance that you do stumble or fall, bend over backward to control the gun and keep up gag control with the goal that it is pointing far from you and your chasing mates. After a fall, point the gun a protected way, open the activity, empty the gun, and check for any barrel obstacles. Indeed, even a little measure of mud, snow, or different trash can be to a great degree perilous. Setting one layer of sticky tape over the gag keeps snow and soil out.
