When is it appropriate to shoot a firearm at a hard surface or water?

Never
Only in self-defense
When hunting waterfowl
During target practice in a controlled environment

The correct answer is: Never

It is important to never shoot a firearm at a hard surface or water. When a bullet hits a hard surface, it can ricochet in unpredictable directions, posing a serious risk to people nearby or property. Shooting at water can also cause ricochets and is not a safe practice. It is crucial to always consider the surroundings and ensure there is a safe backstop for the bullet to stop in case of a miss. Shooting at hard surfaces or water should be avoided to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of yourself and others.
