When should a firearm be unloaded to ensure safety?

  1. When crossing a fence

  2. After each use

  3. Before storage

  4. During cleaning

The correct answer is: When crossing a fence

A firearm should be unloaded before crossing a fence to ensure safety. While the other options may be necessary at some point, they are not as critical in terms of safety. After each use, a firearm should be unloaded before storage to prevent accidents. During cleaning, a firearm should be unloaded to avoid accidental discharge. However, those are not the only times when a firearm should be unloaded. Anytime a user needs to cross a fence, they should unload their firearm to ensure safety for themselves and others.
