Weapon handling refers to regulations regarding work with weapons.

Correct weapon handling includes mainly safety issues such as performing

• Hand over a weapon (i.e. Is there still a round in the chamber (Is the Weapon "cleared")?)
• The way of carrying the weapon (e.g. Gun barrel pointing up or down, Keep the finger off 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 risk of death or injury to the operator, people in the vicinity, and damage to the weapon itself.
