How should you cross a fence while carrying a firearm?

Unloaded with the action open
Loaded with the safety on
By handing it to a friend
By throwing it over the fence first

The correct answer is: Unloaded with the action open

When crossing a fence while carrying a firearm, it is important to prioritize safety. Option A is the correct answer because it ensures that the firearm is unloaded and the action is open, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. Option B, loading the firearm with the safety on, still leaves the potential for a mishap to occur. Option C, handing the firearm to a friend, adds an unnecessary level of risk as the firearm could still accidentally discharge while being handed over. Option D, throwing the firearm over the fence first, is extremely dangerous and should never be considered as it could result in a dangerous situation for anyone on the other side of the fence.
