What should you check before crossing a fence with a firearm?

That the firearm is fully loaded
That the safety is off
That the firearm is unloaded and the action is open
That you have enough ammunition

The correct answer is: That the firearm is unloaded and the action is open

When crossing a fence with a firearm, it is important to first make sure that the firearm is unloaded and the action is open. This means that there is no ammunition in the chamber and the chamber is visible. This is important for safety reasons as it ensures that the firearm cannot accidentally discharge while crossing the fence. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that the firearm should be fully loaded, which is not safe when navigating obstacles. Option B is also incorrect as the safety being off could potentially lead to an accidental discharge. Option D is not relevant to the task of crossing a fence with a firearm. Checking that the firearm is unloaded and the action is open before crossing a fence is the safest and most responsible course of action.
