Which of the following is considered a fundamental rule of firearm safety?

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.
Use only high-caliber firearms for hunting.
Store firearms and ammunition together.
Clean the firearm after every ten uses.

The correct answer is: Always point the muzzle in a safe direction.

A fundamental rule of firearm safety is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This means that the muzzle of the firearm should never be pointed at anything you do not intend to shoot, even when the firearm is unloaded. Option B is incorrect because using only high-caliber firearms for hunting is not a fundamental rule of firearm safety, and using high-caliber firearms may even be illegal in certain areas. Option C is incorrect because storing firearms and ammunition together can increase the risk of accidents or misuse. Option D is incorrect because the frequency of cleaning a firearm does not necessarily impact safety, and it is ultimately up to the individual gun owner to decide how often to clean their firearm based on its usage and conditions.
