Under what circumstance is it safe to cross a fence, ditch, or other obstacle with a loaded gun?

  1. If the safety is on

  2. If you are wearing a safety harness

  3. Never

  4. When you are in a hurry

The correct answer is: Never

It is never safe to cross a fence, ditch, or other obstacle with a loaded gun. This is because these obstacles may require you to change your body position and holding a loaded gun while doing so can lead to accidental discharge. Additionally, if you are in a hurry or not wearing a safety harness, it can increase the risk of injury or harm. Therefore, it is important to always unload your gun and properly store it before navigating any obstacles.
