Minnesota Firearms Safety Hunter Education Practice Exam

The primary 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 damage property in case of an accidental discharge. Wearing eye protection is also important but it is not the primary rule. Keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot is another important safety measure, but again, it is not the primary rule. Unloading the gun when not in use is also an important safety measure, but it is not the primary rule.
