What is the primary rule of gun safety?

Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Always wear eye protection
Keep your finger on the trigger
Unload the gun when not in use

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

The primary rule of gun safety is to always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. This means that the gun should be pointed in a direction where it will not harm anyone or damage property in case of an accidental discharge. Wearing eye protection is also important but it is not the primary rule. Keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot is another important safety measure, but again, it is not the primary rule. Unloading the gun when not in use is also an important safety measure, but it is not the primary rule.
