When passing or receiving a firearm from another person, the action should be:

  1. Closed and locked

  2. Open and the firearm visually checked to be unloaded

  3. Held by the barrel

  4. Loaded with the safety on

The correct answer is: Open and the firearm visually checked to be unloaded

When passing or receiving a firearm, it is important to ensure that the firearm is unloaded and safe to handle. Holding the firearm by the barrel or handling a loaded firearm with the safety on can be dangerous and potentially result in accidental discharge. Checking the firearm visually and physically to ensure it is unloaded and then passing or receiving it in an open and safe position is the best and safest approach. Therefore, options A, C, and D are incorrect.
