Which action is recommended to ensure a firearm is safe before cleaning it?

  1. Unloading the firearm

  2. Keeping the firearm loaded but on safety

  3. Leaving the cleaning to a professional

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Unloading the firearm

Before cleaning a firearm, it is important to ensure that it is safe to handle. Option A, unloading the firearm, is the recommended action as it ensures there are no bullets in the gun that could accidentally discharge while cleaning. Option B, keeping the firearm loaded but on safety, is not recommended as there is still a risk of an accidental discharge. Option C, leaving the cleaning to a professional, is not the recommended action as it is important for firearm owners to be knowledgeable about their own firearms and properly maintain them. Option D, none of the above, is incorrect as unloading the firearm is the necessary and recommended action for safe cleaning.
