-The purchase and use of any firearm is a serious matter. All firearms can be dangerous and even lethal if misused or handled in an unsafe manner. Before using or purchasing any firearm, you should be completely familiar with the operation and safety features of the specific firearm; as well as the General Rules of Firearms Safety.
-The General Rules of Firearms Safety
-'''Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction'''
-This is the Number 1 rule of firearms safety. A firearm that is pointed away from everything will not be able to injure anyone, should it have an accidental discharge. Always treat every gun as though it was loaded. And always keep track of where your muzzle is pointed, even when the gun is unloaded.
-'''Firearms should be kept unloaded at all times'''
-Load your firearm only when you are ready to shoot. When you get done shooting, make sure to unload everything. Not just the chamber, be sure to unload the magazines also. Keep the action open on your gun when it is not in use. You should NEVER hand someone a gun with the action closed, nor should you accept a gun from someone without the action open, and then visually and physically check to make sure the gun is empty.
-'''Do not trust your firearm's safety'''
-Do not rely on the safety of your weapon to prevent a round from firing. Safeties are mechanical items, and therefore are susceptible to failure. Do not have your finger anywhere near the trigger unless you are preparing to fire the gun. Most accidental discharges are caused by a trigger being activated with a finger placed on it when the shooter was not planning on shooting.
-'''Be sure of your target and beyond'''
-A bullet fired out of a gun can travel in excess of 1 mile. Make sure that you have a good, solid backstop. If shooting at game, make sure that if you miss (we all do from time to time), the bullet will not travel beyond your line of sight.
-'''Use the proper ammunition'''
-Every gun is designed to shoot a specific type of ammunition. There may be several names for the same round of ammunition. If you are unsure of what your gun shoots or what ammo you have, ask your local gunsmith. A firearm may chamber a different caliber, but firing the wrong ammunition could result in serious injury, dismemberment, or even death.
-'''Know what to do if you have a misfire'''
-If you squeeze the trigger and the round does not fire, you may have a "hang-fire." Revert to the First Rule; be aware of where your muzzle is pointed! Keep your face away from the breech of your gun, put the safety on, and carefully open the action. Take care to properly dispose of the round. Remember, just because the round did not fire, it is still a loaded round of ammunition, so treat your gun as a loaded weapon.
-'''Always wear eye and ear protection'''
-You risk great damage to your eyes and / or ears by not wearing proper protection. A stray fragment from your ammunition could end up in your eye, there could be a mis-loaded round that causes extra-high pressure and creates a disaster; anything can happen. The noise created by firing a firearm will damage your hearing after only a few rounds, and ear plugs only cost a few cents. What are your eyes and ears worth?
-'''Make sure that the barrel is clear before firing'''
-Before firing your gun, open the action, and after making sure it is unloaded, look down the barrel to ensure that you have not collected any debris in the barrel. A small amount of dirt, snow, grease or even a stray spider's nest could increase the pressure in your barrel to the point where the gun could explode. Never try to shoot an obstruction out of your barrel, you most certainly will be injured, or at least ruin your firearm.
-'''Do not modify your gun, have it cleaned/lubricated regularly'''
-Your firearm was designed by engineers to function a certain way. Modifying or dis-engaging any safeties of portions of your firearm will only serve to endanger you and possibly ruin your firearm. We recommend that you only have your Hi-Point serviced by Hi-Point. After all, who knows more about how the parts fit together that the people who built it in the first place?
-'''Learn all the aspects of your particular firearm'''
-Guns from different manufacturers are very different. The individual characteristics of each gun should be learned inside and out before you chamber the first round. Read the owner's manual before ever shooting any firearm, no matter who made it. If you do not have an operation and safety sheet for your Hi-Point firearm, call (419) 747-9444 and one will be sent to you at no charge.
-'''Special Note''': When your Hi-Point firearm is not in use, it should be unloaded and stored in a safe place that is not accessible to children or other unauthorized person. It should not be stored with ammunition readily at hand. It should always be stored with the trigger lock in place. If you do not have a trigger lock for your Hi-Point firearm, call (419) 747-9444 and one will be sent to you at no charge.
-Your Federally-Licensed firearms dealer can explain these to you. Should you have any questions.
-You should also be very careful in the storage of any firearm. This is especially important if there may be children present at any time. Firearms should always be stored unloaded and away from the ammunition. In some instances, a trigger lock may provide some added safety.
-Hi-Point Firearms are available at your local Federally-Licensed Firearms dealer. If your local licensed dealer does not have the desired model in stock, he can order it from his distributor. This is a simple process because most dealers usually order from their distributor several times a week, and this process takes only a few days.
-'''Be advised''' that current Federal Law requires the purchaser of any firearm to meet certain standards. '''You must be 18 years of age to purchase a rifle or carbine, 21 years of age to purchase a handgun. You must not be a convicted felon or mentally incompetent'''. There are other Federal restrictions; and the individual states and municipalities have their own restrictions also. Your Federally-Licensed firearms dealer can explain all local and state rules and regulations to you at the time of your purchase.
-'''Warranty:'''
-All Hi-Point Firearms carry a Lifetime, No-Questions Asked Warranty.
-If any Hi-Point Firearm is ever need of service, please call 877-425-4867
-Whether you are the original purchaser, or a third-hand owner, your Hi-Point firearm will be repaired free of charge.
