Question: A range officer observes a shooter at a firearm range who has just finished a string of fire. The shooter engages the safety, removes the magazine, and then immediately places the firearm down on the bench. Which critical 'ACTS' principle has been overlooked in this sequence as it pertains to making a firearm safe after use?
Answer options:
