Question

Why is it important to keep the muzzle of a firearm pointed in a safe direction, even though the firearm's safety is engaged?

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The safety only prevents you from pulling the trigger, but does not stop the pin from striking the primer. For example, if you drop the firearm, the pin may hit the primer and fire the firearm. It is always responsible to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction so that if this happens, no consequences come out of it.
