How often should you clean your firearm?

  1. Only when it misfires

  2. After each use

  3. Once a year

  4. Every 5 years

The correct answer is: After each use

It is important to clean your firearm after each use to remove any buildup or residue from firing. This helps maintain the functionality and safety of your firearm. Option A is incorrect because waiting for a misfire to clean your firearm can lead to malfunctions and potential danger. Option C and D are also incorrect as firearms should be regularly cleaned and inspected, not just once a year or every 5 years.
