What should be checked before each hunting trip to ensure the firearm is safe to use?

  1. The firearm's warranty

  2. The local hunting laws

  3. The firearm's action and barrel

  4. Previous hunting trip records

The correct answer is: The firearm's action and barrel

Before each hunting trip, hunters should check their firearm's action and barrel to ensure that it is safe to use. This includes checking for any obstructions, wear and tear, or mechanical issues within the firearm. Option A, the firearm's warranty, is not relevant to ensuring the firearm is safe to use. Option B, local hunting laws, should also be checked before a hunting trip, but it is not directly related to the safety of the firearm. Option D, previous hunting trip records, is also not relevant to ensuring the firearm is safe to use. Therefore, option C is the best answer because it directly addresses the safety of the firearm itself.
