What should you do before cleaning a firearm?

  1. Oil the exterior of the firearm

  2. Ensure the firearm is loaded

  3. Point the firearm in a safe direction

  4. Make sure the firearm is unloaded

The correct answer is: Make sure the firearm is unloaded

Before cleaning a firearm, it is crucial to make sure that the firearm is unloaded to prevent any accidents or injuries. Oiling the exterior of the firearm (A) should only be done after cleaning. Ensuring that the firearm is loaded (B) is extremely dangerous and goes against all gun safety protocols. Pointing the firearm in a safe direction (C) is always important, but it should not be the first step in the cleaning process.
