Which of the following is a true statement regarding storing firearms in a home with children?

It is optional to use a locking storage device
Firearms should be stored unloaded and locked up
Children should be taught to handle all firearms in the home
Keeping a gun unloaded is sufficient for child safety

The correct answer is: Firearms should be stored unloaded and locked up

Firearms should be stored unloaded and locked up to ensure the safety of children in a household. This is the correct answer because it emphasizes the importance of two key elements in firearm safety: being unloaded and locked up. By storing firearms unloaded, the risk of accidental discharge is significantly reduced. Additionally, locking up firearms prevents children from accessing them without adult supervision, further diminishing the potential for accidents or misuse. Regarding the other options: - Option A suggesting that it is optional to use a locking storage device is incorrect as securing firearms is crucial in homes with children to prevent accidents. - Option C stating that children should be taught to handle all firearms in the home is unsafe and inappropriate. Children should not have access to firearms without adult supervision. - Option D claiming that keeping a gun unloaded is sufficient for child safety overlooks the critical aspect of securing firearms to prevent unauthorized access.
