Marinette Machine Custom Firearms’ Message Regarding Firearm Safety
At Marinette Machine Custom Firearms, we prioritize the safety and well-being of our customers and the community. As a leading provider of custom firearms, we believe that responsible gun ownership begins with understanding and adhering to fundamental safety principles. Here is our message regarding firearm safety:
1. Treat All Guns as if They Are Always Loaded
Always assume a firearm is loaded, even if you believe it is not. This mindset helps prevent accidental discharges and ensures you handle the gun with the utmost care
1.
2. Never Point the Muzzle at Anything You Are Not Willing to Destroy
Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction at all times. This rule is crucial to prevent injuries in case of accidental discharge. A safe direction means a direction in which a bullet cannot strike anyone, considering possible ricochets and penetration
1.
3. Keep Your Finger Off the Trigger Until Ready to Shoot
When holding a gun, rest your finger alongside the frame and outside the trigger guard. Only place your finger on the trigger when you are ready to fire
2.
4. Be Sure of Your Target and What Is Beyond It
Always be aware of your target and what lies beyond it. Ensure you have identified your target beyond any doubt and that there are no people or objects that could be unintentionally hit
2.
5. Know How to Use Your Gun Safely
Before handling a gun, learn how it operates. Understand its basic parts, how to safely open and close the action, and how to remove ammunition. Regular maintenance is essential to keep the gun operable
2.
6. Use the Correct Ammunition
Only use ammunition designed for your specific firearm. Incorrect ammunition can cause malfunctions or damage to the gun

7. Wear Eye and Ear Protection
Guns are loud and can emit debris and hot gases that may cause injury. Always wear shooting glasses and hearing protection when shooting
2.
8. Avoid Alcohol and Drugs
Never use alcohol, over-the-counter drugs, or prescription drugs before or while shooting. These substances can impair your mental and physical functions, increasing the risk of accidents

9. Proper Storage
Store firearms in a secure location, such as a gun safe or lockbox, to prevent unauthorized access and accidents. Ensure that firearms are unloaded when not in use
