Which of the following is NOT a rule of safe firearm handling?

Be sure of your target and beyond
Treat every firearm as if it were loaded
Always point the muzzle into the air
Keep the firearm unloaded until you are ready to hunt

The correct answer is: Always point the muzzle into the air

One of the basic rules of firearm safety is to always point the muzzle in a safe direction. This means that you should never point the muzzle at anything you do not intend to shoot, whether it be at yourself or others. Option C, "Always point the muzzle into the air," is incorrect because even though it may seem like a safe direction, it could still pose a potential danger to anyone or anything above or behind the muzzle. It is important to always be aware of your surroundings and make sure that the muzzle is pointed in a direction where it will not cause harm. Options A, B, and D are all correct rules of firearm handling and should always be followed for safe handling and use of firearms.
