Ace the Wisconsin Hunter's Safety Test 2025 – Lock and Load Your Skills!

Firearm safety is a critical component of responsible gun ownership. Option A is incorrect because it suggests practices that are dangerous and could result in accidental discharge of the firearm. Loading a firearm with eyes closed or pointing it at distant regions can lead to unintended injury or damage. Option B is also incorrect as it does not cover the primary rules of firearm safety. While keeping the safety engaged and storing ammunition separately are important, they do not encompass all the necessary rules. Remembering firearm numbers and respecting distances, as suggested in option C, are not primary rules of firearm safety and may vary depending on the situation. Option D, the correct answer, covers the primary rules of firearm safety, including treating every firearm as if loaded, using proper muzzle control to direct the firearm in a safe direction, and keeping the finger off the trigger unless shooting. Additionally, being aware of one's surroundings is also crucial in ensuring firearm safety.
