Which of the following is not a safe practice when handling a firearm?

  1. Keeping the finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

  2. Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction at all times

  3. Using drugs or alcohol before handling firearms

  4. All of the above are unsafe

The correct answer is: Using drugs or alcohol before handling firearms

Using drugs or alcohol before handling firearms is not a safe practice because substances like drugs and alcohol can impair judgment, coordination, and overall cognitive function. When handling firearms, it is crucial to be in full control of one's faculties to ensure the safety of oneself and others. Therefore, it is important to avoid using drugs or alcohol before handling firearms. The other options are safe practices when handling a firearm: - Keeping the finger off the trigger until ready to shoot helps avoid accidental discharge. - Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction at all times prevents unintentional injury if the firearm were to discharge.
