Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice for firearm safety?

  1. Keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction

  2. Always keeping the firearm unloaded until ready to use

  3. Relying on the gun's safety mechanism

  4. Identifying the target and what is beyond it

The correct answer is: Relying on the gun's safety mechanism

Relying on the gun’s safety mechanism is not a recommended practice for firearm safety because the safety mechanism can fail or be accidentally switched off, causing the firearm to discharge. Instead, it is important to always follow the other recommended practices, such as keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction, keeping the firearm unloaded until ready to use, and identifying the target and what is beyond it. This will help prevent accidental shootings and ensure the safe and responsible use of firearms.
