Which of the following is a proper practice for storing a firearm in the home?

In an unlocked drawer
With the safety on
Loaded but in a locked cabinet
Unloaded and in a locked storage box

The correct answer is: Unloaded and in a locked storage box

The most important rule for storing firearms in the home is safety. This means keeping the firearm in a locked storage box, such as a gun safe, to prevent unauthorized access. Keeping it in an unlocked drawer or cabinet (options A and C) increases the risk of accidents or unauthorized use. Additionally, it is important for the firearm to be unloaded, even if it is in a locked storage box, to further prevent accidents or misuse. Having the safety on (option B) can provide an extra layer of safety, but it should not be relied on as the only precaution. Keeping a firearm loaded (options A and B) also increases the risk of accidents, especially if it is not properly stored and secured. Therefore, the best practice for storing a firearm in the home is to keep it unloaded and in a locked storage box, as stated in option D.
