In what condition should firearms be kept at home?

  1. Loaded for self-defense

  2. Unloaded and locked up

  3. Disassembled

  4. Loaded but hidden

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked up

Firearms should always be kept unloaded and locked up in a secure location, such as a gun safe, when kept at home. This is to prevent accidents or unauthorized access to the firearm. The other options are incorrect because A Leaving a firearm loaded for self-defense can be dangerous as it increases the risk of accidents and should only be done under strict supervision and training. C: disassembling a firearm can also be unsafe and will make it difficult to access in case of an emergency. D: hiding a loaded firearm may seem like a good idea, but it can also lead to accidents or unauthorized access if someone were to stumble upon it accidentally.
