Firearms Safety Procedures
Firearm safety is every gun owner's responsibility. Since making our first
rimfire rifle Kimber has advocated the safe use, handling, secure storage and
proper education that accompany responsible firearms ownership. Both
general and specific firearms safety rules and information have always been
packaged with every Kimber firearm.
Kimber encourages everyone to store all guns under lock and key, and to take
special precautions to keep guns out of the sight and reach of children.
Today all firearms are shipped with a cable lock that when used prohibits
loading and discharge. If you do not have a cable lock for your Kimber firearm
we will provide one. Just send a request in writing to: Kimber Mfg., Inc.,
1 Lawton Street, Yonkers, NY 10705. Please include five dollars per lock for
shipping and handling. This offer is subject to change without notice.
Kimber firearms have always been and will continue to be distributed in full
compliance with the letter and spirit of all applicable laws pertaining to their
sale. All sales are made only to the federally licensed professional firearm
dealers with fixed retail storefronts.
Failure to follow these instructions or failure to obey any safety warnings may
result in injury to yourself or others, or cause damage to your gun.
As a gun owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities. How seriously
you take these responsibilities can be the difference between life and death.
There's no excuse for careless or abusive handling of any firearm. At all times
handle your rifle with intense respect for its power and potential danger.
This product is classified as a lethal weapon. The failure to read and properly
execute the instructions and warnings contained in this manual could result in
serious injury or death or damaged property.
Remember that firearm ownership and use is a responsibility that no one
should take lightly. Most firearm accidents would not occur if the following
rules were observed
1. Consider every firearm loaded. Never point the muzzle at anything you do
not intend to shoot.
Always do this even though you are certain the gun is
unloaded. Be extremely alert and aware of all persons
or property within the range of your ammunition.
