What is the first step you should take before carrying a firearm on a boat?

Unload the firearm and keep the action open
Leave the safety on but keep it loaded
Ensure the firearm is in a waterproof bag
No specific action necessary

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and keep the action open

Before carrying a firearm on a boat, it is important to first ensure the safety of yourself and others. Unloading the firearm and keeping the action open allows for the firearm to be safely transported without the risk of accidental discharge. Leaving the safety on but keeping the firearm loaded may still pose a danger in the event of a fall or rough waters. Ensuring the firearm is in a waterproof bag may protect it from water damage but does not address the immediate safety concerns of carrying a loaded firearm. Choosing option D, that no specific action is necessary, is incorrect and may lead to unsafe handling and storage of the firearm.
