    During the Canadian Firearms Safety Course(s) the following method is used
    to reinforce safe gun handling. Every time someone picks up or unloads a
    gun, he/she will be expected to perform ACTS & PROVE. Students are
    trained to perform ACTS & PROVE on hinge, bolt, pump, lever and semi-
    automatic action long guns in the CFSC and on semi-automatic pistols as well
    as single and double action revolvers in the CRFSC.

     Control the muzzle direction at all times.
     Trigger finger must be kept off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.
