The correct answer is: Keep the gun pointed away from you and others

If you fall or stumble with a firearm in hand, the most important thing to do is to keep the gun pointed away from you and others. This is crucial for preventing accidental discharge and potential injuries. By pointing the firearm in a safe direction, you minimize the risk of harm if the gun were to go off unintentionally. It is always important to prioritize safety and prevent any accidental injuries or damage.
