Who is responsible for maintaining the safety of a firearm?

  1. The manufacturer

  2. The government

  3. The owner of the firearm

  4. The person currently holding the firearm

The correct answer is: The person currently holding the firearm

The person currently holding the firearm is responsible for maintaining its safety. Although the manufacturer may design and produce the firearm, they are not responsible for its safe handling and storage. The government may enforce laws and regulations for firearm safety, but they are not directly responsible for maintaining the safety of an individual firearm. The owner of the firearm may have a role in ensuring its safety, but ultimately, it is the responsibility of the person in possession of the firearm at any given time to handle it safely and prevent accidents or harm.
