What is the first step you should take before cleaning a firearm?

  1. Apply gun oil

  2. Ensure the firearm is unloaded

  3. Disassemble the firearm fully

  4. Wear protective gloves

The correct answer is: Ensure the firearm is unloaded

Before attempting to clean a firearm, it is important to ensure that the firearm is unloaded to prevent any accidents or injuries. Applying gun oil or wearing protective gloves may be necessary during the cleaning process, but they are not the first step that should be taken. Disassembling the firearm fully may be necessary depending on the type of firearm, but it is not always required before cleaning. Therefore, option B is the first and most important step to take before cleaning a firearm.
