Which of the following is NOT a part of the firearm safety rules in North Carolina?

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot
It's safe to keep a gun loaded when not in use
Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

The correct answer is: It's safe to keep a gun loaded when not in use

In North Carolina, firearm safety rules emphasize safe handling and storage practices to prevent accidents. One of the key rules is to always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction, so in case of an accidental discharge, no one is harmed. Another important rule is to keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot, which prevents unintentional firing. Additionally, it is crucial to always keep the gun unloaded until you are ready to use it, enhancing overall safety. However, keeping a gun loaded when not in use goes against these safety principles and increases the risk of accidents or unauthorized use, making it the incorrect choice in this context.
