What is the proper method of storing a firearm at home?

Locked in a safe, unloaded, with the ammunition stored separately
In a locked cabinet with the safety engaged
Hidden in a location where others cannot find it
Assembled and ready to use in case of an emergency

The correct answer is: Locked in a safe, unloaded, with the ammunition stored separately

Properly storing a firearm at home means taking precautions to prevent unauthorized access and accidents. Option A, locking the firearm in a safe and storing ammunition separately, is the best choice because it ensures the firearm is secure and reduces any risk of firing accidentally. Option B, a locked cabinet with the safety engaged, also provides some level of security, but it may not be as effective in preventing unauthorized access. Option C, hiding the firearm, is not a safe method of storage as it does not prevent accidental access and can be easily found by someone searching for valuables. Option D, having the firearm assembled and ready to use, is not recommended as it increases the risk of accidents and makes it easier for unauthorized individuals to access the firearm.
