According to the rule of safety, what should you always keep control of?

  1. Trigger

  2. Ammunition supply

  3. Safety gear

  4. Muzzle

The correct answer is: Muzzle

It is important for gun owners to always maintain control of their muzzle, as it is the part of the gun that the bullet comes out of. The other options, while also important in practicing gun safety, do not necessarily require constant control. The trigger should only be pulled when ready to shoot, the ammunition supply can be safely stored when not in use, and safety gear should be worn, but does not require constant control. Keeping control of the muzzle helps to ensure that the gun is always pointed in a safe direction and prevents any accidental discharges.
