If you have access to a firearm and want to get comfortable using it, you need to make sure there is no ammunition in the firearm or anywhere near it. Don't practice with a weapon if you are not familiar with it. Go somewhere that will give you some training. You can search the internet for more information. The Dry Practice Rules were downloaded from a website.

Dry Practice Rules and Safety

Dry practice allows you to practice handling procedures without using ammunition. You build up speed, muscle memory, and proper shooting techniques. Trigger control, holding the sights, closing one eye and focus on the front sight, presentation from a holster, presentation from under a garment, reloading and malfunction clearances can all be practiced. Before you do this you need a set of rules you will follow so you don't cause an accident.

Set a reasonable time limit for the dry practice session. Fifteen to twenty minutes.

Designate a Dry Practice Area. Only Dry Practice in this area.

Unload your weapon. Unload all magazines. Unload all ammunition carriers.

Place all ammunition in an area, preferably another room, separate from the Dry Practice Area.

Place the Dry Practice Target in such a manner that in the event of a negligent discharge of the weapon, the bullet will be captured in the building material or traveling in a direction that would not cause damage or injury. A standard wood and sheet rock wall will not capture a bullet. Be sure of your backstop! Only display the Dry Practice Target when a Dry Practice session is taking place. Don't use mirrors, tv's, wall switches as targets.

Present your weapon. Point in a safe direction and recheck to make sure the weapon is unloaded. Double check magazines, magazine tubes, carriers, etc. to make sure they are free of any ammunition.

You are now ready to mentally enter the DRY PRACTICE SESSION. Concentrate on the Dry Practice Drills and avoid ALL distractions. If you experience any distractions, such as a phone call, knock on the door, question from another person in the room, etc. immediately cease Dry Practice. If you decide to continue Dry Practice after the distraction, you must return to Step 1 and proceed through all steps.

After the last Dry Practice Drill is complete, you must mentally leave the Dry Practice Session. Immediately remove the Dry Practice Target. Leave the Dry Practice Area and say these words out loud, "I have completed my Dry Practice Session. The session is over." Do not allow yourself to think or say "one more time."

Orange plastic training guns are available that have the weight and feel of a real gun, but are solid plastic with no moving parts. Another alternative is to use a "finger" gun, which is your hand with your finger placed on or off an imaginary trigger.  With these two alternatives you still need to mentally follow the above procedures for Dry Practice so that when you use a real weapon, you will continue to follow the correct procedure.
