NRA Basic Rifle All Answers Correct

What is the first step to take when you receive a firearm from someone?



The first step is to always check if the firearm is unloaded. Ensure the action is open, and visually inspect
the chamber and magazine to verify that no ammunition is present. ✔️✔️



How should you respond if you are unsure about the safety of a firearm in your possession?



If you are unsure about the safety of a firearm, immediately stop handling it. Check to ensure the
firearm is unloaded, and seek guidance from someone knowledgeable or qualified to assess the
situation. ✔️✔️



What is the correct way to position your body while shooting for stability?



To achieve stability while shooting, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, bend your knees slightly,
and lean forward slightly at the waist to maintain balance. This posture helps absorb recoil and improves
accuracy. ✔️✔️



What should you do if your firearm falls to the ground?



If your firearm falls to the ground, do not attempt to handle it immediately. Ensure it is in a safe
position, then check the firearm for any signs of damage, and inspect the chamber and magazine to
confirm it is unloaded. ✔️✔️



Why is it important to maintain a proper grip when shooting?



A proper grip ensures better control of the firearm, improves accuracy, and helps mitigate recoil. A firm,
steady hold prevents the firearm from slipping or misaligning during discharge. ✔️✔️

, What is the rule of thumb when using a firearm in an unfamiliar environment?



The rule of thumb is to always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, even in unfamiliar environments.
Follow standard safety protocols at all times and ensure the firearm is handled with caution. ✔️✔️



How do you prevent a negligent discharge when handling a firearm?



To prevent a negligent discharge, always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire,
ensure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, and maintain full awareness of your surroundings.
✔️✔️



What is the proper way to store a firearm when not in use?



A firearm should always be stored in a locked, secure location, such as a safe, with the chamber and
magazine unloaded. Ammunition should be stored separately in a locked container to ensure safety.
✔️✔️



What should you do if you suspect a firearm malfunction while shooting?



If you suspect a malfunction, stop shooting immediately, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction,
and attempt to clear the jam or malfunction. If the issue persists, safely unload the firearm and seek
assistance from a qualified person. ✔️✔️



What is the importance of wearing hearing protection while shooting?



Wearing hearing protection while shooting is important to prevent hearing damage from the loud noise
generated by gunfire. Prolonged exposure to loud noises can cause permanent hearing loss. ✔️✔️



What should you do before firing a firearm in a new location or environment?



Before firing a firearm in a new location, make sure to familiarize yourself with the area, ensuring there
is a safe backdrop, no potential hazards, and no one in the line of fire. ✔️✔️
