Which of the following is a fundamental rule of firearm safety?

Never point a firearm at something you do not intend to shoot
Keep your finger on the trigger when holding a firearm
Only unload the firearm when you are finished hunting
Firearms should be cleaned after each use only

The correct answer is: Never point a firearm at something you do not intend to shoot

Firearms are dangerous weapons and should be handled with extreme care. Option A, to never point a firearm at something you do not intend to shoot, is a fundamental rule of firearm safety because it helps prevent accidental shootings. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because keeping your finger on the trigger can increase the risk of accidental discharge, firearms should always be unloaded when not in use for hunting or shooting, and cleaning a firearm after each use is recommended for proper maintenance, but is not a fundamental rule of firearm safety.
