  1. What is the correct procedure when crossing an obstacle such as a fence while hunting with a firearm?

    Answer: Unload the firearm and pass it safely to a companion or set it down before crossing

    When crossing an obstacle, unload the firearm and either have a companion hold it or set it down safely before you cross.

  2. Which rule addresses the need to know what your bullet will do after it leaves the muzzle?

    Answer: Know your target and what is beyond it

    The rule 'Know your target and what is beyond it' requires shooters to consider the full path a bullet may travel after leaving the muzzle.

  3. How should a firearm be stored when not in use according to Canadian safe storage regulations?

    Answer: In a locked container or with a trigger lock, unloaded and secured

    Canadian law requires non-restricted and restricted firearms to be stored unloaded, with trigger locks or in locked containers, to prevent unauthorized access.

  5. At a shooting range, when is it safe to go downrange to check targets?

    Answer: Only after a ceasefire is called, all firearms are unloaded and benched, and the range officer gives the all-clear

    You may only go downrange after a formal ceasefire, all firearms are verified unloaded and placed on the bench, and the range officer authorizes movement.

  6. What is the danger of storing ammunition in the same locked container as a firearm?

    Answer: It can make a stolen firearm immediately usable, undermining safe storage intent

    Storing ammunition with a firearm means a thief obtains a fully functional weapon immediately, which defeats the purpose of secure storage.

  7. Which scenario requires you to treat a firearm as if it were loaded even if you believe it is empty?

    Answer: At all times, regardless of circumstances

    The first rule of firearm safety is to always assume every firearm is loaded, no matter the circumstances or what you believe.
