Question: When is it acceptable under PROVE to look down the bore from the muzzle to inspect for obstructions?

Answer options: ✅ Only if you have already confirmed the action and chamber are clear and the firearm is pointed in a safe direction (PROVE step 5 with prior steps).

  • Always — it is the preferred initial method (unsafe).
  • Never — inspecting from the muzzle is forbidden (incorrect).
  • Only on shotguns, never on rifles or pistols (incorrect).

Correct answer: Only if you have already confirmed the action and chamber are clear and the firearm is pointed in a safe direction (PROVE step 5 with prior steps).

Explanation: Correct: PROVE step 5 allows bore inspection but only after ensuring the firearm is safe (pointed safe, chamber empty). Inspecting from muzzle only is not initially recommended unless safety is confirmed (CFSC Student Handbook — PROVE Procedure).
