Above all, safety is the most important consideration. Always be aware of the direction in which the muzzle of your shotgun is pointing and never point it in an unsafe direction. Whenever you shoot, you should know where the shot will fall before you pull the trigger. How to store firearms is one of the more controversial subjects surround firearm safety. The reason for this is many firearm owners want to ensure their firearms are readily available for defending themselves, while some people recommend extremely strict storage practices.

You should also keep Chekhov’s Gun in mind when it comes to character development. Two great ways for an author to get insight into their characters are through character development exercises and by creating a character profile. However, not every fact about your character needs to — or should — make it into your story. Pinpoint traits that are relevant to the novel and that will enrich and propel the plot. Focus on those. Before firing your shotgun, you should consider where the shot will go, allowing for possible ricochets. Do not fire at quarry unless you are sure it is within range and be sure you know what is behind it. If you are not sure, don’t shoot.The BASC Ideal is that all who shoot conduct themselves according to the law and to the highest standards of safety, sportsmanship and courtesy, with full respect for their quarry and a practical interest in wildlife conservation and the countryside. The significance of Magwitch is merely brushed upon in these opening scenes, but readers are not immediately given the sense that he will play a crucial role in Pip’s life. Which, of course, turns out to be very untrue as it is later revealed that Magwitch is Pip’s secret benefactor — a major, albeit behind-the-scenes, influencer of Pip’s life and his “great expectations.” B) Touch the Door: This rule pretty much voids calling shotgun and states that the first person to touch either the door or door handle receives the front seat.
