Which of the following should be used to cross a fence while carrying a firearm?

  1. Crossing with the firearm loaded

  2. Handing the firearm to a hunting partner

  3. Using a nearby tree as support

  4. Unloading the firearm and laying it on the ground under the fence before crossing

The correct answer is: Unloading the firearm and laying it on the ground under the fence before crossing

When crossing a fence while carrying a firearm, it's important to prioritize safety and proper handling of the weapon. Option A, crossing with the firearm loaded, is not recommended as it carries a higher risk of accidental discharge. Similarly, option B, handing the firearm to a hunting partner, is also not advised as it can lead to mishandling or accidental discharge. Option C, using a nearby tree as support, should also be avoided as it can cause damage to the firearm or result in accidental discharge. The safest and most responsible choice is to unload the firearm and lay it on the ground under the fence before crossing. This reduces the risk of injury or harm to oneself and others nearby.
