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

  1. Jump over the fence while holding the firearm

  2. Crawl under with the firearm in your hand

  3. Unload and lay the firearm on the ground or hand it to a companion

  4. Throw the firearm over the obstacle first

The correct answer is: Unload and lay the firearm on the ground or hand it to a companion

When crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm, the best practice is to unload the firearm and either lay it on the ground or hand it to a companion. This is the safest option because it ensures that the firearm is not accidentally discharged during the crossing. Jumping over the fence or throwing the firearm over the obstacle could lead to accidental discharge or damage to the firearm. Crawl under with the firearm in your hand is also not recommended as it increases the risk of the firearm getting caught or snagged, potentially causing an accident. Unloading and either laying the firearm down or handing it to a companion ensures the safety of yourself and others around you during this maneuver.
