The 'ten commandments of firearm safety' include all except which of the following?

  1. Treat every firearm as if it were loaded

  2. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it

  3. Only use ammunition designed for your gun

  4. Clean your firearm with the muzzle pointed towards you

The correct answer is: Clean your firearm with the muzzle pointed towards you

The 'ten commandments of firearm safety' are essential guidelines to ensure safe handling and usage of firearms. Cleaning a firearm with the muzzle pointed towards you contradicts the basic safety principle of never pointing a firearm at anything you are not willing to destroy. Therefore, it is crucial to always clean your firearm with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction away from yourself and others.
