The correct answer is: Always point the muzzle in a safe direction

A fundamental rule of firearm safety is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This means that the firearm should never be pointed at anything or anyone you do not intend to shoot. This rule helps prevent accidental shootings and ensures that if the firearm were to discharge, it would not harm anyone. The other options are incorrect because B) This rule encourages responsible handling of firearms and to only load the firearm when you are ready to shoot. C) Keeping your finger on the trigger can cause accidental discharges and is not recommended unless you are ready to shoot. D) Storing ammunition and firearms in the same place can increase the risk of accidental discharge and should be avoided for safety purposes.
