Question: 1 / 400

Which of these firearm safety practices should be followed at all times?

Treat every firearm as if it is loaded

It is essential to always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, even if you believe it is unloaded. This is because a firearm can still have a chambered round or magazine even if you have unloaded it. Option B, only using the safety when storing the firearm, is incorrect because the safety should be engaged at all times unless you are ready to fire the gun. Option C, carrying the firearm with the hammer cocked, is incorrect and unsafe as it could accidentally discharge. Lastly, option D, checking the barrel for obstructions only when it fails to fire, is also incorrect as you should always check the barrel for obstructions before loading and firing a firearm.
