Never keep loaded guns in your home.
	Always store your gun with a trigger lock and /or in a locked cabinet.
	Keep guns out of sight and reach of children.
	Make sure cabinet/gun lock keys are inaccessible to children.
	Ask if there are unlocked guns in homes where your children play.
	Educate you children to treat firearms as loaded and dangerous;  Tell them that when they see a gun, they should STOP, Don't Touch, Run from the area, and Tell An Adult right away.
	If your child is known to be suicidal, remove all guns from your home.

	Never put the gun lock on a loaded gun; attempts to attach a gun lock to a loaded gun can result in an accidental discharge.
	The gun lock will enclose the trigger guards of most guns so that the trigger cannot be pulled.
	The lock will work on most guns, but some lever action rifles, guns without trigger guards surrounding their triggers, guns with extra light or extra wide triggers, and guns with trigger shoes or extensions may not be locked effectively with this trigger lock.
	Gun locks are just on component of gun safety; no lock can offer complete protection against accidental or intentional misuse.
	Keyed trigger locks are not appropriate in all circumstances.  If you need to keep a loaded weapon, gun safes or "life vests" should be used; in households with older children who might find keys or develop their own , (key-less) combination locks are recommended.

	Ensure that your gun is unloaded; never use locks on loaded guns.
	to open lock, turn key and separate two halves of lock.
	Insert the half of the lock with the key and ratchet post through the trigger arm of your gun, behind the trigger if possible.
	Slide the other half of the lock onto the ratchet and tighten securely so that lock cannot be moved.
	Turn key to lock.
	Store key so that children cannot gain access to it.
