What is the primary rule of gun safety?

  1. Keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

  2. Always point the gun in a safe direction

  3. Use only the ammunition designed for your firearm

  4. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

The correct answer is: Always point the gun in a safe direction

The primary rule of gun safety is to always point the gun in a safe direction. This fundamental rule ensures that even if an accidental discharge were to occur, no one would be harmed as long as the gun is pointed in a safe direction. Keeping the gun unloaded until ready to use, using only the correct ammunition, and keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot are also essential safety practices, but they all stem from the critical foundation of always pointing the gun in a safe direction.
