Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is a fundamental of safe gun handling?

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction

Keeping your finger on the trigger to maintain control (B) is not a fundamental of safe gun handling. In fact, it is important to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. Only identifying your target after aiming (C) is also not a fundamental of safe gun handling as you should always be aware of your target and what is beyond it before aiming. Assuming all guns are unloaded (D) is also not a fundamental as you should always check and treat every gun as if it is loaded. The correct fundamental of safe gun handling is always pointing the muzzle in a safe direction (A) to prevent accidental shootings.
