Weapon handling refers to regulations regarding work with weapons.

Correct weapon handling include mainly safety issues such as performing

• Hand over a weapon (I.E. Is their still a round in the chamber (Is the Weapon "cleared")?)
• The way of carrying the weapon (e.g. Gun barrel pointing up or down, Is the finger on the trigger)
• Safety against unauthorized use
• Is the weapon on "safe" when not in use?
• Maintenance and its knowledge etc.

This is done to minimize or prevent risks to the operator, people in the vicinity and the weapon itself.
