What is the best practice for handling ammunition safely?

  1. Store ammunition in a cool, dry place

  2. Keep ammunition with your firearm

  3. Carry only what you need for the day

  4. Both A and C

The correct answer is: Both A and C

Storing ammunition in a cool, dry place is important as it helps to prevent exposure to heat or moisture, which could potentially damage the ammunition. Keeping ammunition with your firearm, while convenient, is not the best practice as it increases the risk of accidents or theft. Similarly, carrying only the amount of ammunition you need for a given day is also recommended for safety reasons and to avoid unnecessary weight or bulk. Therefore, both options A and C are important for handling ammunition safely.
