When is it acceptable to point your firearm at another person?

1. When you are certain the firearm is unloaded

2. In an emergency situation

3. Never

4. When the other person is wearing blaze orange

The correct answer is: Never

It is never acceptable to point a firearm at another person in any situation. Doing so puts both yourself and the other person at risk of injury or death. Even if you are certain that the firearm is unloaded, it is always safest to treat it as if it were loaded and never point it at anyone. Additionally, pointing a firearm in an emergency situation is also not acceptable as it could result in unintentional harm or escalation of the situation. While wearing blaze orange may indicate that the person is not a threat, this is not a foolproof method and it is always safer to avoid pointing a firearm at anyone. In any situation, following basic gun safety rules can help prevent accidents and harm to yourself and others.
