Which of these actions is recommended when crossing an obstacle with a firearm?

Climb over with the firearm in hand
Leave the firearm loaded for quick use
Unload and hand the firearm to a companion or place it on the other side before crossing
Hang the firearm by the trigger guard on a nearby branch

The correct answer is: Unload and hand the firearm to a companion or place it on the other side before crossing

When crossing an obstacle with a firearm, it is important to prioritize safety. Option C, which suggests unloading the firearm and either handing it to a companion or placing it on the other side before crossing, is the recommended action. This ensures that the firearm is not pointed in an unsafe direction or accidentally discharged while navigating the obstacle. Options A, B, and D are not recommended actions when crossing an obstacle with a firearm. Climbing over an obstacle with the firearm in hand can increase the chances of an accidental discharge. Leaving the firearm loaded for quick use can be dangerous and may lead to unintentional harm. Hanging the firearm by the trigger guard on a nearby branch is unsafe as it can easily fall or be knocked off, potentially causing a discharge or damage to the firearm. Therefore, the best practice for crossing an obstacle with a firearm is to unload it and either hand it to a companion or place it safely on the other side before proceeding.
