What is the primary rule of gun safety when handling firearms?

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
Always wear eye protection
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Unload firearms when not in use

The correct answer is: Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

One of the primary rules of gun safety when handling firearms is to always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. This means that the firearm should be pointed in a direction where it will cause no harm or damage if it were to accidentally discharge. This rule helps prevent accidental shootings and ensures the safety of yourself and others. The other options are incorrect because while wearing eye protection and unloading firearms are also important safety precautions, they are not the primary rule. And while keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot is also crucial for preventing accidental shootings, it is not the primary rule mentioned in this question.
