When storing firearms and ammunition at home, what is a recommended safety practice?

Store firearms and ammunition together for easy access
Keep firearms loaded for protection
Store firearms and ammunition separately
Lock ammunition in an accessible place

The correct answer is: Store firearms and ammunition separately

Storing firearms and ammunition separately is a recommended safety practice for several reasons. First, it reduces the risk of accidental discharge or unauthorized access to the firearm. Additionally, storing them separately can also prevent theft, as it would be more difficult for a thief to quickly access both the firearm and ammunition. Keeping firearms and ammunition together for easy access (option A) can be dangerous, as it increases the likelihood of an accidental discharge or unauthorized use of the firearm. Keeping firearms loaded for protection (option B) also increases the risk of accidental discharge and should be avoided. Locking ammunition in an accessible place (option D) may provide some level of security, but it is still not as safe as storing firearms and ammunition separately.
