Question: A non-restricted shotgun is temporarily left unattended during a hunting trip in a remote area. What is the most appropriate action an individual should take to ensure safety and compliance?

Answer options: ✅ Unload it and place a trigger lock on it.

  • Unload it and hide it under some brush.
  • Unload it and leave it propped against a tree, within sight.
  • Keep it loaded and propped against a tree for quick access.

Correct answer: Unload it and place a trigger lock on it.

Explanation: When temporarily leaving a non-restricted firearm unattended, even in a remote area, it must be unloaded and rendered inoperable by a secure locking device, or a critical component must be removed. This prevents unauthorized use and aligns with safe storage principles as per the Storage, Display, Transportation and Handling of Firearms by Individuals Regulations.
