Question: 1 / 400

What is the primary rule of gun safety when handling firearms?

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction

The primary rule of gun safety when handling firearms is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This means keeping the gun pointed in a direction where it would not cause harm if accidentally fired. This includes pointing the gun towards the ground or towards a safe backstop. Option B, keeping your finger on the trigger, is incorrect because it goes against the basic principle of always keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Option C, unloading the gun for storage only, is also incorrect as guns should be unloaded when not in use or when being transported. Option D, none of the above, is incorrect because A is the correct answer for the primary rule of gun safety.
