What is the primary rule of gun safety?

Always point the gun in a safe direction
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it
All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

The correct answer is "D. All of the above." This is the primary rule of gun safety because all three statements are essential to ensure the safe handling and use of firearms. Always pointing the gun in a safe direction means never pointing the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy. Keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot helps prevent accidental discharges. Being sure of your target and what is beyond it is crucial to ensure that you are aware of what your bullet may come into contact with, helping prevent accidents or harm to unintended targets. Therefore, all of these rules work together to promote gun safety and should always be followed diligently.
