Firearms Safety Responsibilities

Safe Muzzle Direction

Always keep the firearm's muzzle pointed in a safe direction, never at anything not intended to be shot.

No Manual Safety

The BT-99 Plus shotgun lacks a manual safety; load only when shooting is imminent.

Unload Before Handling

Always ensure any firearm is completely unloaded before handling or transferring it.

Transport Unloaded Firearms

Never transport any firearm loaded; keep all firearms unloaded in any transport container.

Beware Barrel Obstructions

Check barrel for obstructions to prevent dangerous pressure buildup. Ensure firearm is unloaded before checking.

Unload When Not In Use

Always completely unload all firearms when they are not in use for safety.

Use Proper Ammunition

Use only ammunition dimensions and pressures compatible with the firearm's specifications.

Correct Gauge Ammunition

Never insert a shell of the incorrect gauge; using a 20 gauge in a 12 gauge can cause damage.

Correct Shell Length

Do not use shells longer than the chamber is designed for, as this can cause high pressures.

Avoid Dry Firing

Do not snap the firing pin on an empty chamber; treat every gun as if loaded.

Trigger Discipline

Keep fingers away from the trigger while unloading, loading, until ready to shoot.

Target and Backstop Awareness

Always be sure of your target and backstop, especially in low light conditions.

Unload Before Obstacles

Always unload the chamber before crossing fences, climbing, or negotiating obstacles.

Eye and Ear Protection

Wear eye and ear protection when shooting to prevent injury from debris or noise.

Prevent Dropping Loaded Gun

Be careful to avoid dropping any firearm, as it can cause an accidental discharge.

Failure to Fire Procedure

If a firearm fails to fire, keep the muzzle safe, wait 30 seconds, then carefully unload.

Safe Handling Awareness

Be aware of and address unsafe gun handling practices observed from yourself or others.

Unload Before Cleaning

Always ensure a firearm is completely unloaded before starting any cleaning procedures.

Supervise and Teach Safety

Supervise and teach firearms safety to all family members, especially children and non-shooters.

No Alcohol or Drugs While Shooting

Never consume alcohol or drugs before or during shooting as it impairs vision and judgment.

Maintenance and Servicing

Perform periodic maintenance and avoid unauthorized servicing to ensure proper function.

Warranty and Modifications

Browning reserves the right to refuse service on firearms that have been altered or modified.
