What type of handgun safety mechanism is recommended when carrying a concealed firearm?

Safety notch
Manual safety
Grip safety
None is necessary

The correct answer is: Manual safety

When carrying a concealed firearm, it is important to have a safety mechanism in place to prevent any accidental discharges. A safety notch is a feature found on revolvers and is designed to prevent the hammer from hitting the firing pin. However, this mechanism is not as reliable as a manual safety, as it can easily be disengaged by mistake. A grip safety is also not recommended for a concealed firearm as it can be easily deactivated when drawing the weapon. Therefore, a manual safety, which requires a conscious effort to engage or disengage, is the most suitable and recommended safety mechanism when carrying a concealed firearm. Option D, stating that no safety mechanism is necessary, is incorrect as it goes against the basic principles of firearm safety and can lead to serious accidents.
