Hartford Gun Club Safety Rules

“ALL GUNS ARE CONSIDERED LOADED”

Shooting sports require us to be sure of a safe environment at all times. Accidents or negligent discharges must be prevented.

Therefore, it is the policy of Hartford Gun Club (HGC) to allow and encourage any member to question and confirm any action as it relates to safety. It will never be an attack personally but delivered and received in the spirit of Club safety and preservation of our Club and sport.

Any question will be met with a corrective action, if necessary, or a confirmation that the action is safe.

If you still feel something is not safe, are unsure of something or witness an unsafe act, PLEASE SPEAK UP IMMEDIATELY! Any safety issue not corrected shall be referred to HGC staff or Board Officer.
