Question: 1 / 400

When handling firearms, what does the 'Treat every firearm as if it is loaded' rule imply?

You should only check if the firearm is loaded when you're not sure

Firearms should be stored loaded for safety

Always handle the firearm with care as if it were loaded

This rule implies that you should handle every firearm as if it is loaded, regardless of whether you believe it to be loaded or not. Option A is incorrect because you should always assume a firearm is loaded and handle it accordingly, rather than only checking if it is loaded when you are unsure. Option B is incorrect because storing firearms loaded is not safe and goes against the principle of treating every firearm as if it is loaded. Option D is incorrect because loading a firearm at all times is not necessary for protection and can actually increase the risk of accidental discharge. The most important aspect of this rule is to handle firearms with caution and care, as if they are loaded, at all times.
