What should you do before cleaning your firearm?

  1. Unload it

  2. Leave the safety on

  3. Keep the muzzle pointed at a safe direction

  4. Ensure it is fully loaded

The correct answer is: Unload it

Before cleaning your firearm, it is important to ensure the safety of yourself and others. Option A is the correct answer because it is crucial to unload the firearm before handling it for cleaning. Leaving the safety on, as mentioned in option B, is not enough to prevent accidents. Option C is also important, but it does not address the immediate safety concern of unloading the firearm. Option D is incorrect because it poses a potential danger when handling the firearm for cleaning.
