Which of the following is a primary safety rule when hunting?

  1. Always wear bright clothing

  2. Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

  3. Shoot at any movement in the bush

  4. Unload the firearm when not in use only

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

Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction is a primary safety rule when hunting because it ensures that if the firearm accidentally discharges, no one will be harmed as long as the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. This rule helps prevent accidental injuries or fatalities while hunting by ensuring that the firearm is never pointed at something that you do not intend to shoot. This practice also emphasizes the importance of being aware of your surroundings and the location of other individuals in the hunting area.
