Treat all guns as if they are loaded correct answers - Always assume that a gun is loaded even if you think it is unloaded. - Every time a gun is handled for any reason, check to see that it is unloaded. - If you are unable to check a gun to see if it is unloaded, leave it alone and seek help from someone more knowledgeable about guns. Keep the gun pointed in the safest possible direction correct answers - Always be aware of where the gun is pointing. A "safe direction" is one where an accidental discharge of the gun will not cause injury or damage. - Only point a gun at an object that you intend to shoot. - Never point a gun toward yourself or another person. Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot correct answers - Always keep your finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard until you are ready to shoot. - Even though it may be comfortable to rest your finger on the trigger, it is unsafe. - If you are moving around with your finger on the trigger and stumble or fall, you could inadvertently pull the trigger. - Sudden loud noises or movements can result in an accidental discharge because there is a natural tendency to tighten the muscles when startled. - The trigger is for firing, the handle is for handling.
