What is the best practice for crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm?

  1. Hand the gun to a companion

  2. Unload the firearm and lay it on the ground while crossing

  3. Keep the firearm loaded but on safety while crossing

  4. Carry the firearm over the obstacle with you

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and lay it on the ground while crossing

When crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm, the best practice is to unload the firearm and lay it on the ground while crossing. This ensures that the firearm is not accidentally discharged while navigating the obstacle. By laying the firearm on the ground, you prevent any accidental mishandling that could result in unintentional firing or injury. It also allows you to focus on safely navigating the obstacle without the added risk of carrying a loaded firearm. This practice helps maintain a safe environment for both yourself and others.
