A firearm safety _______?

  1. Can Be bumped from the safe position

  2. Is always reliable

  3. Cannot fail

  4. Does not need checking

The correct answer is: Can Be bumped from the safe position

A firearm safety can be bumped from the safe position, meaning it can be unintentionally shifted to the fire position. This can happen if the weapon is handled roughly or dropped, and it is important for gun owners to regularly check the safety position to ensure it is still engaged. Option B is incorrect because while modern safeties are designed to be reliable, they can still fail. Option C is also incorrect because no mechanical device is completely infallible. Option D is incorrect because regular checking and maintenance of a firearm safety is necessary for safe and responsible gun ownership.
