Canadian Restricted and Non-Restricted Firearm Safety (CRFSC) Practice Exam

When a "cease-fire" command is given, the primary procedure that must be followed is for all firing to stop immediately. This action is critical for ensuring the safety of all individuals present at the shooting range or in the vicinity where firearms are being used. The immediate cessation of firing allows for a safe environment where participants can focus on what needs to happen next without the risk of accidental discharges. Stopping all firing creates an opportunity for shooters to safely assess their positions and firearms. It prevents any potential accidents while allowing range officers or instructors to carry out necessary protocols, such as checking for obstructions, facilitating safe movement of people, or conducting equipment checks. Following this command ensures that safety remains the top priority at all times during firearm use.
