Before crossing a fence with a firearm, you should first:

Climb the fence carefully with the gun
Hand the gun to a friend
Unload the gun and then cross
Look through the scope to ensure no one is on the other side

The correct answer is: Unload the gun and then cross

Before crossing a fence with a firearm, it is important to first unload the gun. This is the correct answer because ensuring the firearm is unloaded reduces the risk of accidental discharge while crossing the fence. Safety is of utmost importance when handling firearms, and unloading the gun before navigating obstacles like fences helps prevent any potential accidents. It is crucial to always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, so unloading it before crossing a fence is an essential safety practice. Option A is incorrect because climbing a fence with a loaded gun can lead to accidental discharge. Option B is also incorrect as handing the gun to a friend introduces another unnecessary risk when crossing the fence. Option D is incorrect because looking through the scope does not guarantee safety when crossing the fence and should not be the first step in ensuring firearm safety during this activity.
