California Firearm Safety Certificate (FSC) Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

What should you do before cleaning your firearm?

Unload it

The best practice before cleaning your firearm is to unload it. This is a critical safety measure; handling a firearm that still contains ammunition significantly increases the risk of an accidental discharge. Ensuring the firearm is completely unloaded helps create a safe environment for both the individual and others nearby during the cleaning process.

While wearing safety goggles can protect your eyes from debris and chemicals used for cleaning, and partially disassembling the firearm can be part of a thorough cleaning regime, the priority is to unload the firearm first. It sets the foundation for safe handling practices when dealing with firearms and their maintenance.
