How do you turn on/off the safety on a M1 Garand?

The M-1 Garand has a safety lever, inside the trigger guard. It also has a hole in it to place a padlock for additional safety and security! By pushing the safety back, it prevents the trigger from activating. Like any semi-automatic weapon that is kept loaded, the safest method is to keep the chamber empty, as this will prevent accidental discharge in the event the weapon is dropped.
To re-activate the weapon for action, simply reverse the position from the safety position.
