3) Shooters shall place a pellet in their gun, only when ready and it is their turn to shoot.

5) ALWAYS walk behind anyone who is on the firing line and be COURTEOUS to others by avoiding any actions that may cause a distraction to those still shooting.

TheFour Basic Rules of Firearm Safety

The 1st Law - The Gun Is Always Loaded!

The 2nd Law - Never Point The Gun At Something You Are Not Supposed To Shoot at!

The 3rd Law - Always Be Sure Of Your Target And What Is Behind It!

The 4th Law - Keep Your Finger Off The Trigger Until Your Sights Are On The Target!

General Safety Rules

1. The Range Safety Officer (RSO) is the ultimate authority on the shooting ranges.

2. The RSO is authorized to correct immediately an infraction at the shooting range.

3. Any decision or instruction given by the RSO will be followed immediately, without question and will not be debated with the RSO during shooting.

4. When arriving at the range, first observe all safety devices, such as flags, cones or lights. Understand the range status and obey applicable range rules.

5. When handling, loading or unloading a gun, keep the muzzle pointed down range.

6. Treat every gun as if it is loaded.

7.  No guns are allowed anywhere in the college apart from the indoor shooting range.

8. Don't touch the trigger until you have the gun pointed at a safe target and are ready to fire and sure of your back stop.

9. Adequate eye and ear protection must be worn on all ranges.

10. If a chambered pellet does not fire when you depress the trigger, keep the firearm pointed down range, take your finger off the trigger and call for assistance.

11. No loaded guns are allowed in the Safe Areas. Safe Areas include any range/place during RANGE HOT conditions. Muzzle direction must remain down range. When range is brought to RANGE SAFE conditions there will be no further gun handling.

12. Shoot only at targets directly in front of your position. Shooting at targets at an angle may result in pellets going outside the berms or create the chance for a ricochet, especially on steel targets. Both are serious safety problems.

13. Under RANGE SAFE conditions there is no rifle handling. Cased firearms may be placed on benches but uncasing is considered gun handling which is not allowed under RANGE SAFE conditions.

14. MSECRC safety rules may be modified for sanctioned events and safety training. These organized shoots must provide a Safety Officer and strictly follow the rules pertaining to that shoot and style of shooting.

15. Before going down range, request a cease-fire and follow Range Commands. Unless it is an immediate safety concern, be considerate of other shooters and make your request when they have finished a string.

16. MSECRC requires the use of Range Commands. They will be practiced by the RSO when assigned and also by Members in the absence of an RSO. Commands must be obeyed immediately.

A few words on Google Student Ambassador Selection:

Becoming a Google Student Ambassador is not an easy task. You have to compete with bright minds of your college, then your city, your state and finally your country! Initially to apply for that post you need to get a token of acknowledgement from your college. Later there are 2 rounds to the journey to the GSA Title. A basic knowledge on technical fundas, few non-technical interest and passionate in Google Technologies will help you to get through the process. But keep in mind that you have to be the best of the lot. In 2nd round, your creativity, responsibility, management and other areas will be tested. Once you expose all your talents to the selection team, you can have a hope of getting through the process. Finally only best of best candidates are chosen as Google Student Ambassador of their college. Not all participating colleges will get a chance for GSA Title. Each college may get utmost 1 GSA. A point to be noted - Becoming a GSA doesn't mean that you work with Google or get a chance to work with Google.It is an opportunity to work with GSA Program team.
