What is the safest way to carry a firearm when hunting in a group?

  1. With the safety off

  2. Resting on the shoulder, muzzle facing backwards

  3. In the low ready position

  4. Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, safety on

The correct answer is: Pointing the muzzle in a safe direction, safety on

When hunting in a group, it is crucial to prioritize safety at all times. The safest way to carry a firearm in this situation is by pointing the muzzle in a safe direction with the safety on. This practice ensures that even if an accidental discharge were to occur, the firearm is not pointed towards anyone in the vicinity. This preventive measure reduces the risk of any potential accidents or injuries while hunting with others. Options A, B, and C are not the safest ways to carry a firearm when hunting in a group. It is essential to always keep the safety on and the muzzle pointed in a safe direction to prevent any incidents.
