What is one of the four primary rules of firearm safety taught in the Pennsylvania Hunter-Trapper Education Course?

Always point the muzzle in a safe direction
Use only the ammo designated for your weapon
Never wear gloves while shooting
Clean your firearm after each use

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

One of the four primary rules of firearm safety taught in the Pennsylvania Hunter-Trapper Education Course is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This rule is fundamental in ensuring the safety of yourself and others while handling firearms. By keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times, the risk of an accidental discharge causing harm is significantly reduced. It is crucial for all hunters and trappers to internalize and practice this rule whenever they are handling firearms. The other options are not correct because they do not directly relate to one of the primary rules of firearm safety. Using only the ammo designated for your weapon, never wearing gloves while shooting, and cleaning your firearm after each use are all important practices, but they are not part of the four primary rules of firearm safety emphasized in the course.
