How should you cross a fence while carrying a firearm?

By throwing the firearm over the fence first
With the firearm in one hand while using the other to support yourself
Without checking the safety first
By first unloading the firearm and then placing it under the fence while you cross over

The correct answer is: By first unloading the firearm and then placing it under the fence while you cross over

When crossing a fence while carrying a firearm, it is crucial to prioritize safety. Option D, which suggests unloading the firearm and then placing it under the fence before crossing over, is the correct approach. This method ensures that the firearm is safe and cannot accidentally discharge while you are navigating the obstacle. Options A, B, and C are not safe practices when crossing a fence with a firearm. Option A suggests throwing the firearm over the fence first, which can lead to the firearm being mishandled, damaged, or lost. Option B advises carrying the firearm in one hand while using the other for support, which can compromise your balance and increase the risk of an accidental discharge. Option C recommends crossing the fence without checking the safety, which is dangerous as it overlooks a crucial step in ensuring the firearm is not ready to fire. In contrast, option D prioritizes safety by requiring the firearm to be unloaded and safely placed under the fence before crossing, minimizing the risk of accidents or injury.
