How can you ensure your firearm is safe to operate?

By checking if it is loaded
Regular maintenance and inspection
Asking a friend to check
Reading the manual once

The correct answer is: Regular maintenance and inspection

The best practice for ensuring your firearm is safe to operate involves regular maintenance and inspection. This approach ensures that any potential issues, such as wear and tear, can be identified and addressed before they lead to failures or unsafe conditions during use. Regular inspection allows you to check various components of the firearm, ensuring they are functioning correctly and safely. While checking if the firearm is loaded is an important safety step, it is just one part of a comprehensive safety protocol. Similarly, relying on a friend to check may not guarantee a thorough understanding of the firearm's condition, and simply reading the manual once does not substitute for ongoing maintenance and familiarity with the firearm. Regular maintenance and inspection help ensure the reliability and safety of your firearm in the long term.
