How should hunters treat every firearm?

  1. As if it is unloaded

  2. With gloves for protection

  3. As if it is loaded and ready to fire

  4. With the safety off

The correct answer is: As if it is loaded and ready to fire

Hunters should always treat every firearm as if it is loaded and ready to fire. This mindset promotes safe gun handling practices by encouraging individuals to always exercise caution and follow proper firearms safety protocols. By assuming a firearm is always loaded, hunters are more likely to handle it responsibly, avoid accidental discharges, and prevent potentially dangerous situations.
