Which of the following best describes a safe practice when handling firearms?

Use alcohol to steady your nerves
Wear protective eye and ear gear
Only use steel shot
Keep the safety off for quick shooting

The correct answer is: Wear protective eye and ear gear

A Using alcohol while handling firearms is not a safe practice as it impairs judgement and coordination, increasing the risk of accident or injury. B: Wearing protective eye and ear gear is the best option as it helps to prevent potential injury to your eyes or hearing while handling firearms. C: Limiting the ammunition to only steel shot is not necessarily a safe practice because different types of ammunition may be required for different types of firearms. D: Keeping the safety off for quick shooting is not a safe practice as it increases the risk of unintentional discharge and potential injury. It is important to always engage the safety and only disengage it when ready to shoot.
