What is the recommended method to cross a fence while carrying a firearm?

Hand the firearm to a companion
Leave the firearm in the vehicle
Unload it and lay it on the ground under the fence
Carry it over the fence with you

The correct answer is: Unload it and lay it on the ground under the fence

It is recommended to unload the firearm and lay it on the ground under the fence because this minimizes the risk of accidental discharge and keeps the firearm under your control. Handing the firearm to a companion could potentially lead to a dangerous situation if they are not trained or responsible with firearms. Leaving the firearm in the vehicle means it is not under your direct control and could potentially be stolen or tampered with. Carrying the firearm over the fence with you can also be dangerous as it could easily snag on the fence or cause an accidental discharge.
