What should you do if you fall while carrying a gun?

Try to catch yourself with your hands
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
Immediately check if the gun is loaded
Stand up and continue walking

The correct answer is: Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

If you fall while carrying a gun, the most important thing to remember is to keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. This means pointing the gun away from yourself and others at all times, especially when in motion. Option A and D could potentially cause the gun to accidentally discharge if the trigger is pulled by mistake. Option C is not as critical as ensuring the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, as checking the gun's status can be done once you have regained control and safety.
