What is the first rule of firearm safety?

Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Always wear orange in the woods
Unload firearms when not in use
Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

The correct answer is: Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

The first rule of firearm safety is to always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This means that the gun barrel should be pointed away from any people or potentially dangerous areas. This helps to prevent any accidents or unintentional injuries. The other options, wearing orange in the woods and keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, are important safety measures but not the first rule. Unloading firearms when not in use is also an important safety practice, but it is not the first rule of firearm safety.
