Which part of a firearm should you never rely on for safety?

The barrel
The safety mechanism
The trigger guard
The stock

The correct answer is: The safety mechanism

The correct answer is B - The safety mechanism. While a safety mechanism is an important feature that can help prevent accidental discharges, it should never be solely relied upon for safety. It is crucial to always treat a firearm as if it is loaded and ready to fire, regardless of the position of the safety. Relying entirely on the safety mechanism without following proper firearm safety rules can lead to a dangerous situation. It is essential to practice safe handling and storage of firearms at all times.
