How can you ensure your firearm is safe to operate?

  1. By checking the safety

  2. By cleaning it regularly

  3. By having it inspected by a qualified person

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: All of the above

One way to ensure your firearm is safe to operate is by performing a full safety check, which includes checking the safety mechanism, regularly cleaning and maintaining the firearm, and having it inspected by a qualified professional. Option A alone may not be sufficient as there could be other potential safety issues that cannot be detected solely by checking the safety mechanism. Option B is important for proper functioning of the firearm, but does not necessarily cover all safety aspects. Option C is also important, but should be done in conjunction with the other measures to ensure complete safety. Therefore, the most effective way to ensure your firearm is safe to operate is by implementing all of the measures listed in option D.
