Why is it important to keep the firearm's action open and unloaded until ready to use?

To make loading faster
For easier transportation
To minimize the risk of accidental discharge
To keep the firearm clean

The correct answer is: To minimize the risk of accidental discharge

Keeping the firearm's action open and unloaded until ready to use is important for minimizing the risk of accidental discharge. This ensures that the firearm is not loaded or ready to fire, reducing the chances of an unintended discharge. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not address the safety aspect of keeping the firearm unloaded. Option D is also incorrect because keeping the action open and unloaded does not necessarily keep the firearm clean.
