Question: 1 / 400

What is the first rule of firearm safety?

Keep the trigger locked

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all time

The first rule of firearm safety is to always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. This means that at all times, the gun should be pointed in a direction where it cannot harm anyone or cause damage. Option A and C are incorrect because it is important to keep the trigger locked AND pointed in a safe direction. Option D is also incorrect because while it is important to be sober and responsible while handling firearms, it is not the first rule of firearm safety. A loaded gun pointing in a safe direction will not cause harm even if the handler is under the influence of alcohol.
