New York Firearms Safety Course Practice Exam

How should you pass a firearm to another person?

1. With the safety on and action open

2. Fully loaded to show it works

3. With the muzzle pointing toward the person

4. Quickly and without instruction

The correct answer is: With the safety on and action open

Passing a firearm to another person can be a potentially dangerous situation, so it is important to do it correctly. Option B is incorrect because you should not pass a loaded firearm to someone without proper safety precautions. Option C is also incorrect because you should never point a firearm at another person, even when passing it to them. Option D is also incorrect because safety should always be a top priority and passing a firearm without proper instruction can lead to accidents. Option A is the correct answer because the safety should always be engaged and the action open when passing a firearm to someone else to ensure that it is not loaded and ready to fire. This simple step can prevent any potential accidents and keep everyone safe.
