Original 1946 NRA “Is That Gun Loaded?” Gun Safety Poster | National Rifle Association Vintage Lithograph
This original “Is That Gun Loaded?” NRA gun safety poster was published by the National Rifle Association of America in 1946 to promote responsible firearm handling. Printed on thick cardboard stock, this vintage poster remains in excellent condition with vibrant green and red colors. The poster measures 22 x 14 inches and shows no tears or paper loss. The photos shown are of the exact poster you will receive.
The illustration presents a cautionary hunting scene. One man carelessly handles a rifle while pointing it toward another person standing on a porch. Their camping gear sits beside a parked car as they prepare to leave, reinforcing the poster’s clear safety message. The bold headline “Is That Gun LOADED?” warns viewers to always check a firearm before handling it.
The National Rifle Association produced a series of mid‑20th century firearm safety and training posters like this one to educate hunters and shooters. Schools, shooting ranges, and training programs displayed these posters to encourage safe gun handling and responsible firearm ownership.
