California Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) Practice Exam

To whom should you never point a firearm, whether it's loaded or unloaded?

1. An intruder

2. Yourself

3. Another person

4. Both B and C

The correct answer is: Both B and C

It is unsafe to point a firearm at anyone, whether they are an intruder, yourself, or another person, regardless of whether the firearm is loaded or unloaded. It is important to always practice proper firearm safety and never point a firearm at anyone, even if you believe it is unloaded or you are just joking around. Both options B and C are incorrect because they suggest pointing the firearm at either yourself or another person is acceptable, which is not true. Option A is also incorrect because pointing a firearm at an intruder could potentially escalate the situation and lead to a dangerous and avoidable scenario. Therefore, option D is the most accurate answer because you should never point a firearm at anyone, including yourself and others, under any circumstance.
