What should you do before cleaning your firearm?

Unload it
Leave the safety on
Keep the muzzle pointed at a safe direction
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.
