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

Use alcohol or over-the-counter drugs to improve focus
Keep firearms loaded in the home
Control the direction of the muzzle at all times
Store firearms and ammunition together

The correct answer is: Control the direction of the muzzle at all times

Controlling the direction of the muzzle at all times is a fundamental safety practice when handling firearms. This practice is crucial because it helps ensure that the firearm is always pointed in a safe direction, minimizing the risk of unintentional injuries or damage. By keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, such as downrange or in a safe direction away from people or objects, you significantly reduce the likelihood of an accidental discharge causing harm.
