• barrel, chamber and muzzle

1. firearms should be stored unloaded, lightly oiled in a locked location and separate from _____?

• each other

Explanation:

1. Responsible hunting prioritizes firearm safety first.
2. Burning powder produces expanding gas that propels the projectile.
3. Modern firearms have three core parts: action (operates the gun), stock (supports the gun), and barrel (guides the projectile).
4. Standard safety requires storing firearms separate from ammunition to prevent accidental discharge. The visible option "each other" is not the correct standard answer for this context.

Answer:

1. knowing your firearm and how to use it safely
2. pressure from expanding gas
3. action, stock and barrel
4. (Note: The fourth question's options are incomplete as only "each other" is visible; assuming standard hunter safety knowledge, the correct answer is typically "ammunition" if it were an option. Based on the provided visible option, no valid correct choice is fully presented.)
