Gun Safety - Firearms disclosure

Firearm Safety Legal Disclaimer

Firearms are not toys. They demand respect, discipline, and a clear head every time you pick one up. This site — and every article, review, or guide published here — is meant for educational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing you read here replaces certified training or your personal responsibility as a gun owner.

I write about firearms because I respect them, and because I believe in safe, lawful, and informed ownership. That’s the line we never cross. If you handle guns, you need to know what you’re doing — and you need to follow the rules every single time.

Safety Comes First

These aren’t suggestions. They’re the four rules that keep you and everyone around you alive.

  1. Treat every gun as if it’s loaded. Even when you’re sure it’s not.
  2. Never point the muzzle at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
  3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you’re ready to fire.
  4. Be certain of your target and what’s beyond it.

Memorize those rules. Live by them. Ignore them once, and it might be the last time you make a mistake.


Legal Responsibility

Every state has its own laws. Some are simple, others are absurdly complicated. That doesn’t matter — it’s on you to know them.
If you buy, sell, modify, or transport a firearm, you are responsible for following all local, state, and federal regulations.
Nothing written on this site should ever be taken as legal advice or an instruction to act outside the law.

Firearms ownership is a right, but it’s also a duty. Do it right, do it legally, and you’ll never have a problem.

Secure Storage and Access

Guns belong in the hands of trained, responsible adults — not children, not guests, not anyone who doesn’t understand what they’re holding.
Lock them up. Use a safe, a cable lock, or whatever method keeps them secure. Keep ammunition stored separately when possible.

A stolen gun or a careless accident doesn’t just ruin one life — it damages the entire community of lawful owners.

No Substitute for Training

Reading about guns is not the same as knowing how to handle them.
If you’re new to firearms, take a certified safety course. Learn from an instructor who can watch you shoot, correct your form, and teach you how to clear malfunctions safely.

Professional training builds confidence, accuracy, and respect — all the things that make responsible gun owners stand out.

Content and Liability

All information on this site is provided as is. That means no guarantees, no promises, and no liability for what you do with it.
If you modify a gun, reload your own ammunition, or follow any process you see here, you do so at your own risk.
The author, publisher, and host platform are not responsible for injury, damage, legal consequences, or misuse of firearms resulting from any information presented on this site.

I’ll always strive to get the facts right — about laws, specs, or safety procedures — but firearms are a fast-changing world. Regulations shift, products evolve, and what’s true today might not be accurate tomorrow. Always confirm critical details with official sources before acting on anything you read.

Affiliate and Advertising Disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission.
That revenue keeps the site alive and helps fund new reviews, range testing, and updates. It never affects the price you pay — and it never changes our editorial opinion.
Every review is written honestly, whether it’s good, bad, or somewhere in between.

Final Word on the Firearm Safety Legal Disclaimer

Firearms are a serious responsibility. Handle them safely, store them securely, and treat them with the respect they deserve.
If you ever have a doubt, stop and ask a qualified instructor before you act.
If you’re not sure what the law says, read it for yourself or speak with a licensed attorney.

This site exists to inform, entertain, and celebrate the responsible ownership of firearms — never to encourage reckless behavior or illegal activity.

Stay safe, stay trained, and never forget that every round you fire carries your name on it.
