How can you maintain control over a firearm's direction?

  1. By using a holster

  2. Keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

  3. By holding it with two hands at all times

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Keeping your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

Keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot is crucial for maintaining control over a firearm's direction. This practice, known as trigger discipline, helps prevent accidental discharges and ensures that the firearm is only fired intentionally. Options A and C may also contribute to firearm safety, but the most fundamental and critical aspect is to always keep your finger off the trigger until you are on target and have made the decision to shoot.
