Which of the following is a safe practice when handling firearms?

Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction
Using alcohol to enhance focus
Relying on the gun's safety mechanism
All of the above

The correct answer is: Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction

A safe practice when handling firearms is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This helps prevent any unintentional discharges or accidents. Using alcohol to enhance focus, as stated in option B, is incorrect and dangerous as it impairs judgement and motor skills. Option C, relying on the gun's safety mechanism, is also incorrect as safety mechanisms can fail and should not be solely relied upon. Option D, all of the above, is also incorrect as not all of the options are safe practices for handling firearms. Option A is the only safe and correct choice.
