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

  1. Keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

  2. Only wear orange when required by law

  3. Aim at anything that moves

  4. Keep the safety off for quick shooting

The correct answer is: Keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

Keeping the gun unloaded until ready to use is a fundamental rule of firearm safety because it helps prevent accidental discharges and ensures that the gun is only loaded when the shooter is ready to shoot. This practice reduces the risk of injury and helps maintain a safe environment for everyone involved. The other options are incorrect because wearing orange clothing when required by law, aiming at anything that moves, and keeping the safety off for quick shooting do not align with basic firearm safety principles.
