Which of the following statements about storing firearms in a home with children is true?

  1. Firearms should be stored unloaded and locked up

  2. Firearms can be stored anywhere as long as they are unloaded

  3. Children should be taught to handle all household firearms

  4. It is safe to store a loaded gun on a high shelf

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

Firearms should be stored unloaded and locked up is the correct answer. This is because it ensures that children do not have access to loaded firearms, preventing accidents or misuse. Storing firearms in a secure and locked location adds an extra layer of safety even if children were to come across the firearms. This practice follows the basic safety guidelines to prevent unauthorized access to firearms by children. The other options are incorrect: - Storing firearms anywhere as long as they are unloaded is not a safe practice, as they must also be secured to prevent access. - Teaching children to handle all household firearms is not recommended as children should not have access to firearms without adult supervision. - Storing a loaded gun on a high shelf is not safe, as it does not prevent unauthorized access or mishandling by children.
