Which of the following is a safe practice when handling firearms?

  1. Use alcohol or over-the-counter drugs to improve focus

  2. Keep firearms loaded in the home

  3. Control the direction of the muzzle at all times

  4. Store firearms and ammunition together

The correct answer is: Control the direction of the muzzle at all times

Controlling the direction of the muzzle at all times is a fundamental safety practice when handling firearms. This practice is crucial because it helps ensure that the firearm is always pointed in a safe direction, minimizing the risk of unintentional injuries or damage. By keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, such as downrange or in a safe direction away from people or objects, you significantly reduce the likelihood of an accidental discharge causing harm.
