What is the first action you should take when handling a firearm?

  1. Check if it is loaded

  2. Aim at a target

  3. Put your finger on the trigger

  4. Load the firearm

The correct answer is: Check if it is loaded

When handling a firearm, the first and most important action to take is to check if it is loaded. This ensures the safety of yourself and others around you. Aiming at a target, putting your finger on the trigger, and loading the firearm should never be the first action, as they can lead to unintentional discharge and potentially dangerous situations. Therefore, options B, C, and D are incorrect and potentially hazardous. Always remember to prioritize safety and check if the firearm is loaded before handling it.
