What is the proper way to pass a firearm to another person?

  1. Hand them the gun with the barrel pointed towards them

  2. Ensure the firearm is unloaded and hand it to them grip first

  3. Pass the firearm with the action open and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

  4. Throw the firearm to them

The correct answer is: Pass the firearm with the action open and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction

Passing a firearm may seem like a simple task, but it is important to do it safely and responsibly. Option A is incorrect because handing the gun with the barrel pointed towards another person can accidentally harm them if there is a misfire or accidental discharge. Option D is obviously incorrect as throwing a firearm can result in serious injury. Option B is also incorrect because even though the firearm is unloaded, handing it grip first can still allow the other person to accidentally pull the trigger. Therefore, the correct and safest way to pass a firearm is with the action open and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, as stated in option C. This ensures that the firearm cannot be fired while being passed and minimizes the risk of any accidents or injuries.
