Question: 1 / 400

What is a safe practice when climbing a fence or obstacle with a firearm?

Climbing with the firearm slung over your shoulder

Handing the firearm to a companion

Unloading the firearm and leaving the action open

When climbing a fence or obstacle with a firearm, it is important to maintain full control of the firearm at all times. Choosing option A or D puts you at risk of losing your grip on the firearm and potentially causing an unintentional discharge. Handing the firearm to a companion, as option B suggests, can also lead to accidents if the firearm is dropped or mishandled. Therefore, it is safest to unload the firearm and leave the action open, as option C states, to ensure that the firearm is not loaded and cannot accidentally discharge while climbing. This practice also allows for a clearer view of your surroundings, making the climb safer and less likely to result in injury.
