Question: Which statement about observing the chamber (PROVE step 3) is accurate for semi-automatic shotguns with fixed tubular magazines?

Answer options: ✅ Lock the action open and visually inspect the chamber and feeding port; also remove any shells from the magazine if necessary (PROVE steps 2–3).

  • Only removing shells from the loading port is sufficient (incomplete).
  • Rely on the magazine follower position to determine if the chamber is empty (insufficient).
  • Pulling the trigger will show if the chamber contains a shell (not a PROVE method).

Correct answer: Lock the action open and visually inspect the chamber and feeding port; also remove any shells from the magazine if necessary (PROVE steps 2–3).

Explanation: Correct: PROVE step 3 requires visually observing the chamber. For semi-auto shotguns with tube mags lock the action open and inspect the chamber and feeding port; remove magazine shells if necessary (CFSC Student Handbook — PROVE Procedure).
