Pennsylvania Hunter-Trapper Education Course Practice Exam

A Using a firearm while under the influence of alcohol is not considered a safe practice because it impairs judgment and coordination, increasing the risk of accidents and injury.

C: Crossing a fence with the firearm not unloaded is not considered a safe practice because it increases the risk of accidental discharge and potential harm to oneself or others.

D: Leaning a loaded firearm against a vehicle is not considered a safe practice because it can easily fall and discharge, causing injury or damage to property. It is important to always keep the muzzle of the firearm pointed in a safe direction to avoid any potential accidents. This means keeping it pointed downrange or towards the ground, away from any people or objects. So, B is the correct answer as it emphasizes the importance of safe muzzle direction when handling firearms.
