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

Over the shoulder
With the muzzle facing forward
With the muzzle pointing down
Action open and unloaded

The correct answer is: Action open and unloaded

When hunting with a group, it is essential to follow safe firearm handling practices to avoid accidents. Carrying a firearm with the action open and unloaded is the safest option because it ensures that the gun cannot accidentally discharge. The other options, such as carrying over the shoulder or with the muzzle facing forward, can pose a danger to other members of the group if the gun were to discharge accidentally. Additionally, carrying the firearm with the muzzle pointing down can lead to tripping hazards and potentially harm wildlife or belongings on the ground. It is crucial to prioritize safety and follow proper firearm handling techniques while hunting with a group to avoid any accidents or injuries.
