When is it legal to shoot a firearm at water or a hard surface?

  1. Always, if you are hunting waterfowl

  2. When there is no other backdrop available

  3. Never, because of the danger of ricochet

  4. Only during specific hunting seasons

The correct answer is: Never, because of the danger of ricochet

When shooting a firearm at water or a hard surface, there is a high risk of the bullets ricocheting off the surface and potentially hitting unintended targets or causing harm. This is why it is crucial to never shoot a firearm at water or a hard surface due to the inherent danger of ricochet. It is important to always consider safety first and avoid actions that may result in unintended consequences.
