What position should the safety be in before loading a firearm?

  1. Off

  2. On

  3. In a neutral position

  4. It does not matter

The correct answer is: On

The safety of a firearm should always be in the "On" position before loading. This is a critical safety precaution that reduces the risk of an unintentional discharge while handling or loading the firearm. When the safety is engaged, it typically prevents the trigger from being pulled, thereby ensuring that the firearm cannot be fired accidentally when it is handled or during the loading process. Maintaining the safety in the "On" position is a fundamental practice that reflects safe firearm handling procedures. This step is essential not only for the safety of the person loading the firearm but also for those nearby. It establishes a basic principle of firearm safety: always be aware of the firearm's status and ensure it is secure before engaging in any activity that involves loading or unloading.
