Before crossing a fence with a firearm, you should first:

Climb over the fence while holding the firearm
Unload the firearm and then cross
Point the firearm towards the sky
Hand the firearm to a companion

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and then cross

Before crossing a fence with a firearm, it is essential to ensure the firearm is unloaded. This is the correct answer because crossing a fence while holding a loaded firearm can result in an accidental discharge, causing harm to yourself or others. Unloading the firearm before crossing the fence is a safety measure that should always be followed to prevent accidents. Always remember to point the firearm in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger, and unload the firearm before crossing any obstacles like fences to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.
