Lock and Load for the 2025 New York Firearms Safety Test – Shoot for Success!

Question: 1 / 400

What is the proper way to cross a fence or obstacle with a firearm?

Jump over with the firearm in hand

Hand the firearm to a companion

Unload the firearm and pass it over first

When crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm, the proper way to ensure safety is to unload the firearm and pass it over first (Option C). This is important to prevent accidental discharge while navigating the obstacle. Jumping over with the firearm in hand (Option A) or leaving the firearm on the ground and climbing over (Option D) both increase the risk of accidental firing. Handing the firearm to a companion (Option B) could also be risky as it might lead to mishandling or accidental discharge during the transfer. Therefore, unloading the firearm before passing it over an obstacle is the most appropriate way to ensure the safety of both the individual and others in the vicinity.
