Question: 1 / 400

What is the best practice for crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm?

Hand the firearm to a companion

Unload the firearm and go over the fence carefully

When crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm, the best practice is to unload the firearm and go over the fence carefully. This is to ensure safety and prevent any accidental discharges while navigating the obstacle. It is important to always treat a firearm as if it is loaded and to handle it with caution at all times to avoid any accidents. Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they involve actions that could potentially lead to unsafe situations. Handing the firearm to a companion can risk the gun being mishandled and accidentally discharged. Leaving the firearm loaded, even with the safety set, is not recommended as there is still a risk of the safety failing or an accidental discharge occurring. Tossing the firearm over the fence first and then climbing over is also unsafe as the firearm could accidentally discharge upon impact.
