What should you do if the safety of your firearm is not working properly?

  1. Continue using the firearm but with caution

  2. Unload the firearm and do not use it

  3. Fix it yourself using a guide

  4. Only use the firearm for short-range shooting

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and do not use it

If the safety of your firearm is not working properly, you should unload the firearm and not use it. This is the safest option as continuing to use the firearm with a faulty safety can lead to accidents and potentially harm yourself or others. Attempting to fix it yourself using a guide may cause more harm if you are not properly trained to do so. Limiting the use of the firearm for short-range shooting may also not fully address the issue with the safety. Therefore, the best course of action is to unload the firearm and not use it until the safety is properly fixed.
