Ace the Texas Hunter Ed Test 2025 – Take Aim, Shoot Straight, Succeed Big!

Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following is NOT a fundamental rule of firearm safety?

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

Keep your finger outside the trigger guard until ready to shoot

Always use alcohol responsibly before hunting

The correct answer highlights the distinction between fundamental rules of firearm safety and general responsible behavior. The three other choices focus specifically on safety protocols that should always be followed when handling firearms.

Keeping the gun pointed in a safe direction is essential for preventing accidental discharges that could harm people or property. Keeping your finger outside the trigger guard helps prevent unintentional shots, and being sure of your target and what lies beyond it is crucial for making informed decisions and preventing reckless shooting.

While using alcohol responsibly is important for overall safety and judgment in any activity, it is not specifically categorized as a fundamental rule of firearm safety. Therefore, it does not belong in the same context as the other options, which directly pertain to the handling and operation of firearms.
