Which of the following safety rules is MOST important when handling firearms?

Always wear eye and ear protection
Keep the gun unloaded until ready to use
Never point the gun at anything you do not intend to destroy
Know your target and what is beyond it

The correct answer is: Never point the gun at anything you do not intend to destroy

When handling firearms, the most important safety rule is to never point the gun at anything you do not intend to destroy. This rule is crucial for ensuring the safety of oneself and others. By always keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction, the risk of accidental discharge and injury or damage is significantly reduced. Remembering to keep the gun unloaded until ready to use, knowing your target and what is beyond it, as well as wearing eye and ear protection are all important safety practices as well, but ensuring that the firearm is never pointed at something you do not intend to destroy is the foundation of firearm safety.
