Lock and Load for the 2026 New York Firearms Safety Test – Shoot for Success!

Question: 1 / 400

How often should you check a firearm's safety mechanism?

Only when it fails to fire

Every time before using the firearm

Checking a firearm's safety mechanism is an essential step in firearm safety and should be done every time before using the firearm. Option A is incorrect because waiting for the mechanism to fail puts yourself and others at risk. Option C is incorrect because once a year is not frequent enough to ensure the safety mechanism is functioning properly. Option D is incorrect because not checking the safety mechanism can lead to potential wear and tear on the firearm, potentially causing it to fail when you need it. Checking before each use ensures that the firearm is always in proper working condition and ready to be used safely.
