Question: 1 / 400

What action should be taken when passing a firearm to another person?

Pass the firearm with the safety on

Inspect the firearm together afterward

Pass the firearm with the action open and the firearm unloaded

When passing a firearm to another person, the safest action to take is to pass the firearm with the action open and the firearm unloaded. This ensures that the firearm cannot be accidentally discharged and that both parties can visually confirm that the firearm is unloaded before handling it. Passing the firearm with the safety on (A) or inspecting it together afterward (B) does not guarantee that the firearm is unloaded or that it will not accidentally discharge. Additionally, ensuring the magazine is inserted (D) could lead to confusion or a potential safety risk if the other person is not aware of the loaded magazine. It is important to always prioritize safety when handling firearms, and passing a firearm with the action open and unloaded is the best course of action.
