What is the first rule of firearm safety?

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction
Check the background before shooting
Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot
Unload firearms when not in use

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

The correct answer is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This is the first and most fundamental rule of firearm safety. By keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times, you greatly reduce the risk of an accidental shooting in case the firearm discharges. This rule takes priority over all others because it ensures that even if the gun were to go off unexpectedly, no one will be harmed as long as the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction.
