Which of these is NOT a fundamental NRA rule for safe gun handling?

Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Use alcohol or drugs before handling firearms
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

The correct answer is: Use alcohol or drugs before handling firearms

This is not a fundamental NRA rule because using firearms while under the influence of alcohol or drugs greatly increases the risk of accidents and should always be avoided. The other options are all fundamental rules for safe gun handling and should be followed at all times. Option A ensures that the gun will not accidentally discharge while being handled. Option B ensures that the gun is pointed away from any potential danger or unintended targets. Option D helps prevents unintentional shootings by keeping the gun from firing unless the shooter is ready to shoot. Remember to always handle firearms responsibly and never use them while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
