How to safely store an airgun
An airgun in the wrong hands can be lethal.
After using your gun, make sure it is unloaded and store it in a secure place to which children cannot gain access. Store ammunition in a separate secure place.
After shooting, ensure your air rifle is dry and free from dirt before storing it. Metalwork may benefit from a wipe down with a lightly oiled rag or a silicone cloth. The barrel should be cleaned using a proper barrel cleaning kit, and again lightly oiled. Only use the correct lubricants in accordance with the rifle manufacturer's instructions. Always carefully wipe the oil from the bore before shooting.
Don't leave shooting equipment unattended at any time, that's how accidents happen.
Finally never ever point an air pistol or air rifle at any person or animal. Remember this is one sure way of never being allowed into a shooting club.
