What is the primary rule of gun safety?

Always point the gun in a safe direction
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
Identify your target before firing
Always wear eye and ear protection

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

The primary rule of gun safety is to always point the gun in a safe direction. This means that the gun should never be pointed at anyone or anything unless you are ready to fire. Keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot (option B) is also an important rule, but it is not the primary rule as guns can still accidentally discharge even with the finger off the trigger. Identifying your target before firing (option C) is also crucial, but it is not the primary rule as the safety of others and yourself should always come first. Wearing eye and ear protection (option D) is also important, but it is not the primary rule of gun safety. The primary rule of gun safety focuses on the proper handling and respect for firearms to prevent accidents or harm to oneself or others.
