What must be done before storing a firearm?

  1. Pull the trigger to ensure it is not loaded

  2. Record the serial number for insurance purposes

  3. Unload it and make sure it is not cocked

  4. Leave the safety on

The correct answer is: Unload it and make sure it is not cocked

Before storing a firearm, it is important to unload it and make sure it is not cocked. This is crucial for safety reasons to prevent accidental discharge. Pulling the trigger without checking if the firearm is unloaded could result in a dangerous situation. Recording the serial number for insurance purposes is a good practice but is not directly related to safety before storing the firearm. Leaving the safety on is also a good practice but should be done in addition to ensuring the firearm is unloaded and not cocked.
