Which of the following is considered a good practice for storing firearms at home?

Unloaded and locked up
Loaded but hidden
Loaded and easy to access
Unloaded and in plain sight

The correct answer is: Unloaded and locked up

Storing firearms at home in a secure and responsible manner is crucial for safety. Choosing option A, keeping firearms unloaded and locked up, is considered a good practice because it prevents unauthorized access to the firearms, especially by children or individuals who should not have access to them. This helps reduce the risk of accidents or misuse of the firearms. Options B, C, and D are not recommended practices for storing firearms at home. Keeping firearms loaded but hidden (option B) or loaded and easy to access (option C) can increase the risk of accidental discharge or unauthorized use. Having firearms unloaded but in plain sight (option D) may also pose a safety risk, as it can be accessible to unauthorized individuals.
