What is the first rule of gun safety?

Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it
Always wear eye and ear protection

The correct answer is: Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

The first rule of gun safety is to always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This means that the gun should be pointed in a direction where it will not harm anyone or cause damage if it were to accidentally go off. Option B is also an important rule, but it is the second rule of gun safety. Options C and D are also important safety measures, but they are not the first rule and should not be prioritized over keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction.
