Weapon handling
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Weapon handling refers to regulations regarding work with weapons.
Correct weapon handling include mainly safety issues such as performing
- handing overs (firearms: how many cartridges does it contain, is it secured or not etc.?)
- the way of carrying (e.g. Gun barrel pointing up or down)
- Safety against unauthorized use
- locking the trigger when not using a firearm
- maintenence and it's knowledge etc.
This is done to minimize or prevent risks to the operator, people in the vicinity and the weapon itself.
