When storing a firearm, what is a critical safety practice?

Store it in a visible place
Store it loaded for quick access
Use a secure storage device
Keep it in a soft case

The correct answer is: Use a secure storage device

Storing a firearm in a visible place, such as on top of a shelf or in a cabinet, may increase the chances of accidental discharge or the firearm being accessed by unauthorized parties. Storing a firearm loaded for quick access also poses a danger, as it increases the risk of accidental injury or death. Keeping a firearm in a soft case may also not be enough to prevent access by those who should not have it. Using a secure storage device, such as a gun safe or lock box, is a critical safety practice to ensure the firearm is inaccessible to anyone other than the authorized owner.
