Which carry condition indicates the rifle is ready to fire with the safety off?

• A. Firing Condition
• B. Safe
• C. Cruiser Ready
• D. Combat Ready Sling Carry

Answer: (A)

Carry conditions describe the rifle’s status in terms of chamber Status, safety position, and how ready it is to be fired. The one that means it can be fired immediately with the safety off is the Firing Condition. In this state, a round is in the chamber and the safety is not engaged, so the weapon is ready to discharge when the trigger is pressed. Safe means the safety is on, which prevents discharge even if there’s a round in the chamber, so it’s not immediately ready to fire. Cruiser Ready and Combat Ready Sling Carry describe how the rifle is carried and the general posture for quick access, but they don’t specify that the safety is off or that a round is chambered and ready to fire.
