What should you do if you fall or trip with a firearm?

  1. Try to catch yourself with your hands and keep the firearm pointed downrange

  2. Immediately check the barrel for obstructions

  3. Make sure the safety is on and unload the firearm

  4. Control the direction of the muzzle and keep it pointed in a safe direction regardless of whether you fall

The correct answer is: Control the direction of the muzzle and keep it pointed in a safe direction regardless of whether you fall

If you fall or trip with a firearm, it is crucial to control the direction of the muzzle and keep it pointed in a safe direction, regardless of the situation. This is the correct response because maintaining control over the firearm and ensuring it is pointed in a safe direction at all times is a fundamental safety practice. This helps prevent any accidents or injuries in case the firearm discharges accidentally. Remember, always prioritize safety by keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction to avoid harm to yourself and others.
