Question

You are handing a firearm to another person. When do you let go of the gun?

Answer 1

Answer:

Passing a Firearm to Another Person

When passing a firearm to another person, follow these steps.

Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.

Turn your back toward the other person, and unload the firearm.

Put the safety on.

With the action open, check the chamber and magazine to make sure there is no ammunition.

Face the other person, and let him or her grasp the firearm securely.

Continue to hold onto the firearm until the other person confirms that he or she is holding it securely by saying “Thank you,” “I’ve got it,” or something similar.

Answer 2

When handing a firearm to another person, you should only let go of the gun only after doing or ensuring the following protocols are followed

• Make sure your firearm or gun is pointing in the other direction(safer direction). And it is not pointing in the direction of the receiver.
• Ensure that the safety mechanism of the gun is turned on, every gun has a safety mechanism that can be put so that the gun doesn't get triggered automatically.
• Check and make sure the magazine of the gun is empty and it is best to empty it before giving it to the other person.
• Now hand over the gun to the other person and make sure he/she has held or gripped it perfectly.
• Now ask him to turn around so that it is not at all pointed at you

These are the steps that should be done when you are handing the firearm to another person
