Why C, imagine you are going to clean your firearm before you put it in the safe. You should ensure you do not leave it where it can be easily accessed by kids or thieves. Once you put it in the safe you don't need to worry about the kids and thieves.

I agree that D is the correct answer (or at least correct in the eyes of the tester...) but Mr Browning does raise a point where the question specifically states "Before a firearm is stored" and "C" is the action of storing the firearm...Perhaps there should be an extra option

8. Before a firearm is stored away, which of the following should be done?

A- check there are no rounds in the chamber and magazine.

B- remove bolt and magazine (where possible) and store these separately.

C- secure the firearms against children and theft.

D- You should write a letter to the head of Police requesting that the person writing this should be taught proper English and a basic understanding of firearms...

E- all of the above

In which case E would be the correct answer...........
