What should be your first step when starting to clean your firearm?

Disassemble it
Check the manual
Wipe it down with a cloth
Make sure it's unloaded

The correct answer is: Make sure it's unloaded

The first step when starting to clean your firearm should be to make sure it is unloaded. This is essential to your safety and the safety of those around you. Disassembling the firearm, checking the manual, or wiping it down with a cloth should only be done after ensuring the firearm is unloaded. Choosing any of these options as your first step could result in an accidental discharge of the firearm, causing harm and potentially leading to serious consequences. It is important to always follow proper firearm safety measures, and checking to make sure the firearm is unloaded is the first and most crucial step in this process.
