What is the main reason for practicing safe firearm handling?

  1. To prevent damage to the firearm

  2. To make hunting more challenging

  3. To prevent hunting accidents

  4. To comply with state laws

The correct answer is: To prevent hunting accidents

Practicing safe firearm handling is essential to preventing hunting accidents. Option A is incorrect because preventing damage to the firearm is not the main reason for safe firearm handling, although it is an added benefit. Option B is incorrect because making hunting more challenging is not the main purpose of safe firearm handling, it is rather to ensure safety. Option D is incorrect because while complying with state laws is important, it is not the main reason for safe firearm handling, preventing accidents is.
