What should you do before cleaning a firearm?

Make sure the firearm is loaded
Disassemble the firearm completely
Unload the firearm
Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm

Before cleaning a firearm, it is essential to ensure that the firearm is unloaded. This means removing all ammunition from the firearm and double-checking to confirm that it is empty. This step is crucial for preventing any accidental discharges during the cleaning process. Keeping the firearm pointed in a safe direction is also important as an additional safety measure to ensure that if the firearm were to discharge, it would not cause harm to anyone or anything. Disassembling the firearm completely is not necessary before cleaning it, and doing so can sometimes lead to issues with reassembly.
