Under what circumstance is it acceptable to handle a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs?

  1. When at a supervised gun range

  2. When using low-caliber firearms only

  3. Never

  4. When in a private residence

The correct answer is: Never

Handling a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs can be extremely dangerous and can increase the risk of accidents or injury. It is never acceptable to handle a firearm under the influence, regardless of the location or type of firearm. Even at a supervised gun range or in a private residence, the use of firearms should only occur when the individual is sober and in a clear state of mind. Additionally, using low-caliber firearms does not make it any safer or acceptable to handle a firearm while under the influence. It is always important to handle firearms responsibly and with caution.
