"Which Gun Safety Rule Is Most Important? "

[h20hunter]

I'm going to say "treat every weapon as if it is loaded".

For me that covers trigger safety as well as muzzle control.

Ten Commandments of Firearm Safety
1.   Treat Every Firearm as if it Were Loaded. Always Keep the Muzzle Pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION!!!
2.   Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. Use your safety.. but remember that safeties sometimes fail!!
3.   Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it before you fire.
4.   Never place a loaded firearm in or on a motor vehicle.
5.   Never use a firearm unless you know how it works.
6.   Be sure the barrel and action are clear of obstructions.
7.   Never cross a fence, climb a tree, cross a stream, or jump a ditch with a loaded firearm.
8.   Never point a firearm at anything you do not want to shoot. Never shoot at a flat, hard surface or water.
9.   Unload firearms when not in use. Store firearms and ammunition separately.
10.   Never use Alcohol or drugs before or during shooting.
Remember MUZZLE CONTROL – MUZZLE CONTROL- MUZZLE CONTROL !!!!!!!!!!!!

All are important but number one to me is muzzle control

We as hunters don't use weapons we use firearms. Muzzle control, Muzzle control. to keep your muzzle pointed in a safe direction includes not point it at something you don't intend to shoot and/or knowing your target.

Without watching the video, I'd say the most important gun safety rule is "Keep The Muzzle Pointed In A Safe Direction".
