What should be done with a misfired firearm?

Continue pulling the trigger
Unload and inspect the firearm
Shake the firearm
Look down the barrel

The correct answer is: Unload and inspect the firearm

When dealing with a misfired firearm, the correct course of action is to unload and inspect the firearm. This is important for several reasons: 1. Safety: Unloading the firearm ensures that there is no round in the chamber that could potentially discharge if the firearm malfunctions. 2. Diagnosing the issue: By inspecting the firearm, you can identify the reason why the firearm misfired in the first place. This could help prevent similar incidents in the future. 3. Preventing accidents: Handling a misfired firearm incorrectly, such as by continuing to pull the trigger or looking down the barrel, could lead to serious injuries or even death. Unloading and inspecting the firearm is the safest way to handle a misfire.
