When storing a firearm, what is crucial to remember?

  1. Store the firearm with the safety on

  2. Store the firearm and ammunition separately

  3. Store the firearm in an easily accessible place

  4. Store the firearm with the action closed

The correct answer is: Store the firearm and ammunition separately

When safely storing a firearm, it is important to keep the firearm and ammunition separated to prevent any potential accidents. Despite the fact that storing the firearm with the safety on may seem like a good precaution, it is possible for the safety mechanism to fail and for the firearm to discharge. Storing the firearm in an easily accessible place may also seem convenient, but it also increases the risk of unauthorized access to the firearm. Similarly, storing the firearm with the action closed does not guarantee that the firearm is completely safe and cannot accidentally discharge. Ultimately, separating the firearm and ammunition is the best practice for safe and responsible storage.
