It is important to always handle firearms with a clear and sober mind. The other options listed are all important safety measures to follow while handling firearms. Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction helps prevent any accidents in case the firearm were to accidentally discharge. Making sure the firearm is unloaded when not in use also helps to prevent accidents and should always be checked before handling a firearm. Wearing eye and ear protection while shooting is essential for protecting your senses from any potential harm.
