What is the first thing you should do when handling a firearm?

Check to see if it is loaded
Pull the trigger to see if it works
Put on safety glasses and ear protection
Load the firearm

The correct answer is: Check to see if it is loaded

When handling a firearm, the first thing you should always do is check to see if it is loaded. This is a crucial step in firearm safety to ensure that the firearm is not loaded and ready to fire accidentally. By checking if the firearm is loaded, you reduce the risk of any accidental discharge and promote safe handling practices. The other options are not the correct first step when handling a firearm: pulling the trigger to see if it works can lead to an accidental discharge, putting on safety glasses and ear protection is important but comes after ensuring the firearm is unloaded, and loading the firearm should only be done after ensuring safe handling practices.
