A safe direction is a direction in which, if the gun fires, no humans would be endangered and, at worst, only minor property damage would result.
It isn't "up" or "down" or "toward the berm." Any of those may be a safe direction, sometimes. Any of those will be a very unsafe direction at other times.
As much as we all might prefer otherwise, there is no substitute for actual thought when handling guns.
