For CM Hunters Safety Rules T< Every year about 2,400 persons are killed accidentally by firearms. The main victims are persons 15-24 years of age, and children under 15, in that order. Exclusive of firearms deaths in homes, there are 1,200 persons killed by firearms annually away from home. The 1 ,200 away-fromhome firearms deaths don't always involve hunting. Only 1 out of 3 away-fromhome firearms deaths results from a hunting accident. In one State, for example, more deaths in a recent year came from such assorted activities as playing with a gun, handling a gun (handing it to another ncr son and wrestling for a gun), and target shooting than from actual hunting. How can firearms accidents be avoided? 1. Treat all firearms as if they were loaded. 2. Don't release the safety until just b e f o r e you shoot. 2. Never fool around with a lethal weapon, loaded or unloaded. Oliver Osborne is the handsome two year old grandson of Walker and Edna Osborne.
