According to California firearm rules, what should children do when they encounter a firearm?

Try to play with it
Leave it alone and tell an adult
Take it to an older sibling
Attempt to disarm it

The correct answer is: Leave it alone and tell an adult

Children should leave a firearm alone and inform a trusted adult because this action promotes safety and is the best practice when encountering any type of weapon. Firearms are often dangerous, and children may not understand the potential risks associated with handling them. By leaving the firearm untouched, they help to prevent accidents or unintended discharges. Reporting the discovery to an adult ensures that the firearm can be handled safely and appropriately by someone who understands the risks and responsibilities involved. This guidance is critical in promoting a culture of firearm safety and responsibility among children and helps instill a proper attitude toward firearms at an early age. The other options suggest actions that could potentially lead to dangerous situations or reinforce irresponsible behavior regarding firearms, making it vital for children to be educated on the correct response in these scenarios.
