Which of the following is considered a safe practice when handling a gun?

  1. Leaving the gun loaded when not in use

  2. Using alcohol or drugs before or while handling guns

  3. Never using a gun to show off

  4. Pointing the gun at something you do not intend to shoot as a joke

The correct answer is: Never using a gun to show off

Handling a gun is a serious matter and it is important to follow safe practices to prevent accidents and injuries. Option A is incorrect because leaving a gun loaded when not in use can lead to accidental discharge and potential harm. Option B is incorrect because using alcohol or drugs before or while handling guns can impair judgement and increase the risk of accidents. Option D is incorrect because pointing a gun at something you do not intend to shoot as a joke is extremely dangerous and can result in serious harm or even death. This type of behavior should never be considered as a joke or for entertainment. Option C is the only safe and responsible practice when handling a gun. It is important to never use a gun to show off and to always treat it with respect and caution.
