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

With the firearm on your shoulder, muzzle pointing behind you
With the muzzle pointing upward
With the firearm held in both hands in front of you
The method that makes you most comfortable

The correct answer is: With the firearm held in both hands in front of you

When hunting in a group, the safest way to carry a firearm is by holding it in both hands in front of you. This method ensures that you have full control over the firearm and can quickly respond to any unexpected situations. Keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction and having it at the ready position in front of you minimizes the risk of accidents and increases safety for everyone in the group. While it may be tempting to carry the firearm on your shoulder or with the muzzle pointing upward, these positions can increase the likelihood of an accidental discharge or injury to yourself or others. Additionally, choosing the method that makes you most comfortable may not always align with the best safety practices, so it is important to prioritize safety above personal preferences when handling firearms in a group setting.
