How should firearms be stored to ensure safety?

Storing firearms in a secured case with the action open and separate from ammunition is the safest practice. This method reduces the risk of accidental discharge, as an open action indicates that the firearm is not ready to fire. By keeping the firearm secured in a case, access is limited, which is especially important in homes with children or untrained individuals. Additionally, storing ammunition separately ensures that firearms cannot be easily loaded and fired, further enhancing safety. This approach complies with best practices in firearm safety and storage, promoting responsible ownership.
