Bollywood actor Govinda has been injured due to firing from his own revolver. It was fortunate that the bullet hit his leg. At present he is safe, but after this incident a big question has arisen that if there is any weapon like gun, revolver or pistol in the house, then how should it be kept, so that an accident like Govinda does not happen. However, while purchasing any weapon, safety rules are explained to the licensee by the arms manufacturing company. Apart from this, complete information is also given during the training to use weapons.
Here we will once again discuss the same rules, so that possible accidents can be avoided. According to the rules given while purchasing a firearm, its maintenance is very important, no matter what the weapon may be. According to this manual, it has been said that long barreled weapons should always be kept unloaded when not in use and the muzzle of the barrel should always be kept upwards. Even if a weapon has to be used, one has to look at the target and keep in mind what degree of angle the barrel of the weapon is at.
Often, while cleaning weapons, firing occurs accidentally. It is being said that firing took place in the same situation with Bollywood actor Govinda. According to experts, there are rules for cleaning any weapon. According to the weapon manual, the angle of the barrel should be in the upward direction even while cleaning. Even if this is not the case, it should be at an angle of 45 degrees in that direction, where there are no walls or people within a radius of at least 20 meters. It is even stated in this manual that even during dry fire, the barrel of the gun should not be pointed towards an unsafe target.
Similarly, while carrying a gun or any other firearm, it is very important to keep in mind the direction of the cord. Even if you stumble or fall, the direction of the cord should be under your control. In the weapon manual it is said to always keep the weapon unloaded. As a rule, you load it only when you are in the field, in the target range or ready to shoot. Apart from this, the weapon can be kept loaded even in a situation when your life is in danger at all times.
In such a situation, you may need to use weapons at any time. In other circumstances, bullets should be removed from the gun or revolver and kept in a safe place. It is prohibited to keep loaded weapons in cars and trucks. Before taking the weapon in your hand, giving it to someone or keeping it unused, open the action of the weapon and check the chamber to see if any bullet or magazine is left in it. Although all types of guns have strong security arrangements, despite this the arms manufacturing company says that do not trust the safety of the gun.
Actually, it is a mechanical device and there can be some technical problem in it at any time. There are many rules for keeping the finger on the trigger of the gun. The first rule in this is that do not keep your finger on the trigger before using it. Do not remove the safety lever of the gun unless it is to be used. Doing this can be dangerous. Before picking up any weapon, it is important to know its range. Like how many fires will be fired once the trigger is pressed and how far it will be hit. For example, shotgun pellets also hit up to a distance of 500 yards.
Never use illegal bullets in your weapon. Doing so will not only damage the gun, but the gunman may also become a victim of an accident. Keep in mind that even after the safety lock is installed, if the weapon is loaded with bullets then it is not safe. For gun safety, it is important to take your weapon to an authorized agency every three to five years to get it checked and get any defects rectified. Even if there is no fault, apply oil and grease on the spring and other parts of the gun.
