What is the first rule of firearm safety?

Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Make sure the firearm is unloaded until ready to use
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Identify your target and what is beyond it

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

The first rule of firearm safety is to keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This is crucial because regardless of whether the gun is unloaded or not, as long as it is pointed in a safe direction, any accidental discharge will not result in harm. This rule ensures the safety of everyone around you and minimizes the risk of accidents. It is the most fundamental rule of firearm safety that must always be followed.
