How often should you check the safety and operation of your firearm?

  1. Once a year

  2. Before each use

  3. Only after malfunction

  4. Every hunting season

The correct answer is: Before each use

Before each use is the correct answer because it is essential to check the safety and operation of your firearm every time before using it. This practice ensures that the firearm is in proper working condition and safe to use, reducing the risk of accidents or malfunctions while hunting or shooting. Checking the firearm before each use helps to create a habit of firearm safety and responsible gun ownership. The other options are not ideal because they don't promote a consistent and thorough approach to firearm safety.
