Which of the following is NOT recommended when crossing an obstacle with a firearm?

Unloading the firearm
Using a crossing log
Handing the firearm to a companion
Jumping across with the firearm loaded

The correct answer is: Jumping across with the firearm loaded

When crossing an obstacle with a firearm, it is important to always prioritize safety. This means unloading the firearm and making sure it is safely secured before attempting to cross. Option A is the recommended course of action. Option B may be useful in certain situations, but it should not be the primary means of crossing an obstacle with a firearm. Option C is also not recommended as it involves handing a firearm to someone else, potentially putting them at risk. Option D is the only incorrect option as it poses a serious risk not only to the person crossing but also to their surroundings. It is never recommended to jump across an obstacle with a loaded firearm as it increases the chances of an accidental discharge. Therefore, the best approach when crossing an obstacle with a firearm is to carefully unload and secure it, and then safely cross over.
