Thanks, I wish I was taking this course with you guys! Im still getting used to the fact that there are so many varieties of guns and technical differences! Great videos and thanks alot for sharing your knowledge and experience. I will recommend your videos to friends and colleagues!
The CFSC coursepack specifically states that under the 'P' of PROVE, you need to apply the safety, if possible in order to further reduce the rick of injury due to accidental discharge. I am currently taking the CFSC and the CRFSC and it is a requirement both for testing and class practice. We will lose marks if we do not apply the safety first!!
Applying the safety on many firearms will lock the action closed making it impossible to remove any cartridges and clear the firearm. In the event of a malfunctioning firearm, applying the safety first could possibly cause the firearm to discharge. Your first concern when making a firearm safe is to ensure it is pointed in the safest available direction with your finger off the trigger then removing any ammunition.
Showing how to unload cartridges is a good suggestion and we will make sure to include that in future videos. Putting the safety on prior to checking the firearm is good in theory but not in practice. There are many firearms actions that will not open with the safety on. Also, your primary concern should be removing any ammunition in a safe manner; if the firearm is malfunctioning it is not unheard of that applying the safety could cause the gun to go off.
There is no requirement to apply safeties prior to your ACTS/PROVE of a firearm. After the firearm is proven safe and you decide to load dummy rounds, the course standards would recommend you attempt to apply any safeties.
At the end of the day, no manual safety will replace Jeff Coopers's vital 4 laws that were adapted to the Canadian ACTS.

I would like to see how to unload any cartridges.
Also shouldn't the safety be 'on' before removing and checking?

Thanks for your input.

@Silvercore123 I agree with you on safeties, but what is correct in the eyes of the CFSC practical exam?

During the practical portion of the CFSC exam do you have to load dummy rounds or do you just do the ACTS/PROVE?
Thanks for the videos, very helpful, I'm doing my test next week.
