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

  1. Unload the firearm

  2. Leave the firearm loaded

  3. Hand the firearm to a companion

  4. Jump over with the firearm in hand

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm

Before crossing a fence with a firearm, it is essential to unload the firearm for safety reasons. Unloading the firearm ensures that there is no accidental discharge while crossing the fence, reducing the risk of injuries to yourself or others. It is crucial to always treat a firearm as if it is loaded, handle it responsibly, and follow proper firearm safety protocols. This includes unloading the firearm before attempting any potentially hazardous actions like crossing a fence.
