Which of the following is NOT considered a safe practice when handling a firearm?

Using alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms
Keeping firearms unloaded until ready to use
Storing firearms and ammunition separately
Engaging the safety until you are ready to fire

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

Using alcohol or drugs before or while handling firearms is not considered a safe practice because it can impair your judgment and reaction time, increasing the risk of accidents. Option B, C, and D are all safe practices when handling a firearm. Keeping firearms unloaded until ready to use and storing firearms and ammunition separately can prevent unintentional firing and unauthorized access. Engaging the safety until you are ready to fire adds an additional layer of safety, preventing the firearm from firing accidentally.
