What is the proper way to carry a firearm when hunting with a group?

With the barrel pointed upwards
With the safety on
With the barrel pointed downwards
In a way that is comfortable for you

The correct answer is: With the safety on

When hunting with a group, it is essential to ensure safety at all times. Carrying a firearm with the safety on is the correct way to handle a firearm when hunting with others. This measure helps prevent accidental discharges and ensures that the firearm is in a safe condition while being carried. Keeping the safety on reduces the risk of any mishaps, especially in the excitement of a hunting situation. While it may be tempting to carry the firearm in a way that is comfortable for you, the priority should always be safety. Pointing the barrel upwards or downwards can pose risks to yourself and others in the group as it increases the chances of an unintentional discharge. Therefore, it is crucial to always keep the safety on when carrying a firearm during a hunt.
