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

Keeping your finger on the trigger when not shooting
Using alcohol or drugs before shooting
Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction at all times
All of the above

The correct answer is: Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction at all times

A safe practice when handling a gun is always to point the muzzle in a safe direction at all times. This is crucial to prevent any potential accidents or injuries. Keeping your finger on the trigger when not shooting (Option A) can lead to accidental discharge, and using alcohol or drugs before shooting (Option B) can impair judgment and coordination, making it unsafe to handle a gun. Therefore, the correct answer is pointing the muzzle in a safe direction at all times (Option C).
