ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE OF CLAIMS DISCLOSURES. In Florida, firearms, golf carts, aircraft, including drones, and motor vehicles are “dangerous instrumentalities.” Use, intentional misuse, malfunction, or negligent use of firearms, golf carts, aircraft, drones or motor vehicles is likely to cause bodily injury or death, even when safely and properly used. Clay targets and the launchers used for clay targets may cause bodily injury or death. Bullets fired from rifles and pistols and shot fired from shotguns may ricochet and cause bodily injury or death. The shooting activities conducted at JL Partners, LLC d/b/a OK Corral Gun Club (hereinafter “OK Corral Gun Club”), and the observation of such activities, necessarily involve the use of firearms, golf carts, motor vehicles, both on and off road, and clay targets and launchers, and are hazardous activities. Dogs, other domestic animals, or livestock which may be present on the premises of OK Corral Gun Club may bite, or otherwise harm humans, causing bodily injury or death. In addition, the grounds of OK Corral Gun Club also contain populations of wildlife capable of causing bodily injury, or death. Such wildlife includes, by example, and not by way of limitation, feral hogs, venomous snakes, alligators, and poisonous and disease carrying insects. RELEASE.

ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances. 2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger. 3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
Ok Corral Gun Club observes Florida statute Title XXIII > Chapter 316 > Section 2126. It is not permissible for individuals to operate the club’s carts on county roads and public roadways.
