Before crossing a fence with a firearm, what should you do?

Unload the firearm and pass it under the fence
Jump over the fence while holding the firearm
Hand the firearm to a companion
Carry the firearm with the safety on

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and pass it under the fence

Before crossing a fence with a firearm, it is important to ensure that the firearm is not loaded and has no potential to accidentally discharge. Unloading the firearm and passing it under the fence is the safest option as it prevents any accidental shots from happening. Jumping over the fence while holding the firearm, handing it to a companion, or carrying it with the safety on are all unsafe options as they still pose a risk of unintentional firing. Furthermore, handing a firearm to someone else is not recommended as it is important to always be responsible for your own firearm. Therefore, unloading the firearm and passing it under the fence is the correct and safest course of action.
