When crossing a fence or obstacle, what should you do with your firearm?

Unload it and lay it on the ground
Keep it loaded but on safety
Hand it to a friend
Carry it with you

The correct answer is: Unload it and lay it on the ground

When crossing a fence or obstacle, it is important to always unload your firearm and lay it on the ground. This is a safety measure to prevent any accidental discharge as you navigate over the obstacle. Keeping the firearm loaded but on safety (B) could still result in an accidental discharge if the safety is not properly engaged or if there is any sudden jarring movement. Handing the firearm to a friend (C) could also be dangerous as they may not be familiar with handling firearms and could accidentally discharge it. Carrying the firearm with you over the obstacle (D) could also lead to an accidental discharge if there are any sudden movements or if you lose your balance.
