Disclaimer: to purchase ammunition and other regulated items you must be authorized according to Swiss law.
Never point your gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
This is particularly important when loading or unloading a firearm. In the event of an accidental discharge, no injury can occur as long as the muzzle is pointing in a safe direction.
A safe direction means a direction in which a bullet cannot possibly strike anyone, taking into account possible ricochets and the fact that bullets can penetrate walls and ceilings.
The safe direction may be “up” on some occasions or “down” on others, but never at anything not intended as a target. Even when “dry firing” with an unloaded gun, you should never point the gun at an unsafe target.
Make it a habit to know exactly where the muzzle of your gun is pointing at all times, and be sure that you are in control of the direction the muzzle is pointing, even if you fall or stumble. This is your responsibility, and only you can control it.
By treating every firearm as if it is loaded, a habit of safety is developed.
Firearms should be loaded only when you are in the field or on the target range or shooting area, ready to shoot.
Whenever you handle a firearm, or hand it to someone, always open the action immediately, and visually check the chamber, receiver and magazine to be certain they do not contain any ammunition.
Always keep actions open when not in use. Never assume a gun is unloaded — check for yourself! This is considered a mark of an experienced gun handler.
Never touch the trigger on a firearm until you actually intend to shoot.
Keep your fingers away from the trigger while loading or unloading. Never pull the trigger on any firearm with the safety on the “safe” position or anywhere in between “safe” and “fire.” It is possible that the gun can fire at any time, or even later when you release the safety, without you ever touching the trigger again.
Don’t shoot unless you know exactly what your shot is going to strike.
Be sure that your bullet will not injure anyone or anything beyond your target.
Be aware that even a .22 short bullet can travel over 1 1/4 miles and a high velocity cartridge, such as a .30-06, can send its bullet more than three miles. Shotgun pellets can travel 500 yards, and shotgun slugs have a range of over half a mile.
You should keep in mind how far a bullet will travel if it misses your intended target or ricochets in another direction.
IT IS MANDATORY TO FOLLOW THIS RULES AT ALL TIMES.
BREAKING THOSE RULES MIGHT RESULT IN THE INABILITY TO PROCEED WITH THE ACTIVITIES AND BE EXCLUDED FROM THE EVENT.
