Colorado Hunter Education Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What is the best practice for handling a firearm in a boat?

Hand the firearm to another person butt first

Keep the firearm loaded to be ready for shooting

Unload the firearm before boarding the boat

A good practice for handling a firearm on a boat is to always unload the firearm before boarding the boat. This is because boats can often experience unexpected movements due to waves, wind, or changes in direction, making it more dangerous to handle a loaded firearm. Additionally, handing the firearm to another person butt first (option A) can still result in an accidental discharge if the other person is not trained in handling firearms. Keeping the firearm loaded (option B) is also not recommended as it increases the chance of an accidental discharge, and pointing the muzzle towards the water (option D) can still pose a danger to anyone in the vicinity. Therefore, the best practice is to always unload the firearm before boarding the boat.
