Which of the following is NOT a safe practice while handling firearms?

  1. Keeping the action open and the gun unloaded until ready to use

  2. Using alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms

  3. Always knowing your target and what is beyond

  4. Treating every firearm as if it were loaded

The correct answer is: Using alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms

Using alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms is not a safe practice because it impairs judgement and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents. Keeping the action open and the gun unloaded until ready to use, always knowing your target and what is beyond, and treating every firearm as if it were loaded are all important safe practices when handling firearms to prevent accidents and ensure proper use.
