Although physical evidence is important, safety must be the first concern. Each situation should be assessed before deciding to unload an evidence firearm. If the weapon is a type that can be safely transported in a loaded condition, this can be done. However, depending on the circumstances it may be risky to transport a loaded firearm.

Depending on the carpenter, one could mostly work indoors. One could mostly work outdoors. Carpentry work can be divided into two categories rough and finish carpentry. Rough carpenters often work outdoors where they begin projects using unfinished wood and other building materials. They frame houses, build scaffolding, and make forms to be filled with concrete.
