    Outdated question on the Police firearms test

    Just wanted to get a general feeling form you guys on this. I know it seems silly but i feel this form that we all fill out must be absolutely flawless and clear.

    I'm specifically confused on the ambiguously worded question 8 of the firearms application test. It needs to be clarified as it does not seem to make grammatical / literal sense.

    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- all of the above

    Main question here. What is option C??? Is it duplicating answers A + B and then implying it is something different? If this is referring to the now redundant trigger locks? I suggest think they scratch D and just make C say "both of the above" as there is no such thing as specifically securing the firearm against 'children or theft' apart from options A and B.

    Technically its saying lock the firearm in your safe before storing it....

    Thoughts?
