1. NO LOADED MUSKETS IN CAMP !
2. Never let a spectator handle your musket.
3. Never draw your ramrod in battle unless it is specifically ordered by OUR officer for a safety check.
4. Never fix bayonets during battle.
5. When firing during a battle, keep the musket elevated well above the enemies heads.
6. Never fire a double charged musket.  If you are having trouble with misfires, die, until you can fix the problem.
7. Only carry cartridges in your cartridge box, never in a haversack or pocket.
8. Do not clean your musket immediately after a battle while we are still "on parade", UNLESS you have an 18th century cleaning kit.  Wait until after the spectators have left.
9. Never unsheathe edged weapons during a battle or around spectators.
