Arkansas Hunters Ed Practice Exam

Always unload a firearm before _______?

1. Crossing rough terrain

2. Entering a vehicle

3. Climbing a tree

4. Eating

The correct answer is: Crossing rough terrain

It's important to always unload a firearm before crossing rough terrain, as any sudden movement or vibrations can accidentally cause the gun to go off. While unloading before entering a vehicle and climbing a tree is also recommended, these actions are not as likely to cause the gun to go off as the uneven and unpredictable nature of rough terrain. Additionally, unloading before eating is not as relevant as it may not involve any sudden movements that could cause the gun to discharge. In any scenario, it is best practice to always unload a firearm before engaging in any physical activity to ensure the safety of yourself and those around you.
