Firearm & Blank Safety
Firearm and blank-firing device safety is a major concern at any event. Education, discipline, and maturity are a must when using these tools. Although the WWII HRS exercises strict safety regulations at events, it is strongly suggested that all members educate themselves with a firearm safety course. Each member is responsible for their own conduct.

Vehicle Safety
Vehicle safety has three components, the first being the driver, the second, the vehicle, and third, people near the vehicle. The WWII HRS has strict guidelines regarding both. Vintage and replica vehicles at events are an awesome addition to our hobby, but like anything they can be dangerous if not used properly. This webpage is not able to go into the characteristics of specific vehicles for safety concerns. Common sense is the ruling factor with any safety issue. The Military Vehicle Preservation Association (MVPA) not only helps Military Vehicle owners learn about their vehicles, they promote vehicle safety through their standards.
