When crossing a fence or other obstacle alone with an unloaded firearm, what should you do?

Cross holding the firearm with the action open and the safety on
Set the firearm on the ground, pointing the muzzle away from where you are crossing
Toss the firearm to the other side of the obstacle
Lean the firearm against the obstacle and retrieve it once you get to the other side

The correct answer is: Set the firearm on the ground, pointing the muzzle away from where you are crossing

It is important to always prioritize safety when handling a firearm. When crossing an obstacle alone with an unloaded firearm, it is best to set the firearm on the ground, pointing the muzzle away from where you are crossing. This ensures that the firearm is not being held or supported while crossing, reducing the risk of accidental discharge. Additionally, setting the firearm on the ground ensures that the muzzle of the firearm is not pointing at yourself or others while crossing, further minimizing the risk of accidental discharge. The other options (A, C, and D) involve holding or leaning the firearm in a potentially unsafe manner while crossing the obstacle.
