What should you do before cleaning your firearm?

  1. Unload it

  2. Leave it assembled

  3. Put on gloves

  4. Check if the safety is engaged

The correct answer is: Unload it

Before cleaning your firearm, it is important to ensure that it is unloaded to prevent any accidental discharge. Leaving the firearm assembled or putting on gloves may not prevent an accident from occurring. Checking if the safety is engaged is also not enough to guarantee the firearm is unloaded. It is important to physically remove all ammunition from the firearm before beginning the cleaning process.
