What is the correct response if you experience a misfire while at the range?

Immediately try firing again
Point the firearm downrange, wait, and then safely clear the firearm
Shake the firearm
Hand it to someone else to try

The correct answer is: Point the firearm downrange, wait, and then safely clear the firearm

If you experience a misfire while at the range, the correct response is to point the firearm downrange, wait, and then safely clear the firearm. This is the safest option as it ensures that the firearm is pointed in a safe direction while you wait to see if the misfire resolves itself or if further action is needed to clear the firearm. Option A is not the correct response because immediately trying to fire again without addressing the misfire can be dangerous. Option C, shaking the firearm, is potentially hazardous as it can lead to an accidental discharge. Option D, handing it to someone else to try, is also unsafe as the issue with the firearm needs to be addressed by the person who was handling it when the misfire occurred.
