MILL WHI
Be A Safe Hunter
In most states it’s the easiest thing in
the world to obtain a hunting license.
But suppose you had to pass a written
test to qualify as a hunter as you do
to get an auto driver’s license?
Here are a few of the most elementary
questions and answers taken from a
course in hunting safety given by the
National Rifle Association. See how
many you can answer correctly without
first reading the answers.
Q. What is the first thing to be done
when handling a gun?
A. Open the action and examine both
the chamber and the magazine to make
sure it is not loaded.
Q. How is a gun carried in an auto
mobile?
A. Unloaded, with the action open or
the gun in a case.
Q. Many people think they can shoot
more accura'ely with a light, so-called
“hair-trigger.” Should this be done?
A. No. So-called “hair-triggers” are
extremely dangerous.
Q. What is the correct way to squeeze
the trigger of a rifle?
A. Press the trigger steadily until gun
is fired. Hold your breath until the shot
is fired.
Q. How should a gun be handled when
crossing a fence?
A. Unload, open the action, and place
the gun under the fence. Climb the
fence and reload on the other side.
Q. What are the essentials of safe
hunting?
A. (1) Know your gun. (2) Handle
your gun properly. (3) Fulfill your re
sponsibilities as a safe hunter.
