The safety on a firearm should be used how?

Only when storing the firearm
As an additional safety measure
Not necessary if you are careful
Only when the firearm is not in use

The correct answer is: As an additional safety measure

When handling a firearm, the safety mechanism should always be used as an additional safety measure. Option A is incorrect because the safety should also be used during handling and transportation, not just when storing the firearm. Option C is incorrect because even if you are careful, accidents can still happen and the safety provides an extra layer of protection. Option D is incorrect because it's dangerous to assume that the firearm won't accidentally discharge when it's not in use. It's important to always engage the safety when handling a firearm to prevent any accidents from happening.
