What is the proper way to pass a firearm to another person?

  1. With the safety on and action open

  2. Loaded but with the safety engaged

  3. Quickly and without checking if it's loaded

  4. After checking that the person knows how to use it

The correct answer is: With the safety on and action open

Passing a firearm to another person should always be done safely to prevent accidents and injuries. The proper way to pass a firearm to another person is with the safety on and action open. This means engaging the safety mechanism to prevent accidental firing and opening the action to visibly show that the firearm is not loaded. This way, both the person passing the firearm and the person receiving it can ensure that it is in a safe condition.
