What is a safe practice when crossing a fence or obstacle with a firearm?

Handing the firearm to a companion
Holding the firearm with the muzzle pointing down
Leaving the firearm loaded and carefully crossing
Unloading the firearm and crossing separately

The correct answer is: Unloading the firearm and crossing separately

Crossing a fence or obstacle with a loaded firearm is extremely dangerous and should never be done. Option A may seem like a viable solution, but it is actually not safe as your companion may not be able to properly handle the firearm and an accident may occur. Option B is also not the best choice as the muzzle should always be pointed in a safe direction, which is not downwards when crossing a fence or obstacle. Option C is a reckless practice as any mishap can result in a discharge of the firearm. The safest practice is to unload the firearm and cross separately. This ensures that the firearm is not in a ready-to-fire state and minimizes the risk of accidents.
