Which of the following is considered a good practice to store firearms safely?

Store firearms and ammunition together
Use a trigger lock or firearm safe
Keep firearms on the highest shelf
Leave the safety off for quick access

The correct answer is: Use a trigger lock or firearm safe

Using a trigger lock or firearm safe is recognized as a good practice for storing firearms safely. This method ensures that unauthorized individuals, particularly children, cannot easily access the firearm. A trigger lock prevents the firearm from being fired even if it is handled, while a safe provides a secure location where the firearm is not only inaccessible but also protected from theft and potential damage. This practice aligns with safety regulations and promotes responsible gun ownership. In contrast, storing firearms and ammunition together could lead to dangerous situations, especially if someone without proper training gains access. Keeping firearms on the highest shelf may not be an effective deterrent, as individuals may still be able to reach them with ladders or other means. Leaving the safety off can lead to accidental discharges, making it a very unsafe practice.
