California Firearm Safety Certificate Practice Test

Easy access to loaded firearms at home is a major cause of accidental shootings involving children.

1. True

2. False

The correct answer is: True

This is because loaded guns are easily accessible to children when they are easily available within a home. If firearms are not properly stored and secured, children may accidentally come into contact with them and unintentionally fire them, potentially causing harm to themselves or others. This is supported by statistics and studies that have shown that most accidental gun deaths involving children occur due to easy access to loaded firearms in the home. Therefore, the statement that easy access to loaded firearms at home is a major cause of accidental shootings involving children is true. Option B is incorrect because it is not supported by evidence and goes against the statistics and studies that show the correlation between easy access to loaded firearms at home and accidental shootings involving children. It is important to note that this does not mean that accidental shootings involving children do not occur outside of the home or without easy access to firearms, but rather that there is a higher likelihood of it
