How should you carry a firearm when walking with others?

With the muzzle pointed behind you
With the muzzle pointed up
With the muzzle pointed down at the ground
In the safest possible direction, considering the situation

The correct answer is: In the safest possible direction, considering the situation

When walking with others, it is important to always carry a firearm in the safest possible direction. This means that the direction of the muzzle should be constantly reassessed based on the situation and surroundings. None of the other options (muzzle pointed up, muzzle pointed behind you, muzzle pointed down at the ground) take into consideration the potential risks and dangers of a given situation. It is important to always prioritize safety and be aware of one's surroundings when carrying a firearm.
