What is the first step in cleaning a firearm?

  1. Apply gun oil to the moving parts

  2. Disassemble the firearm as much as the manufacturer recommends

  3. Wipe the exterior with a silicone cloth

  4. Unload the firearm

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm

Before cleaning a firearm, it is crucial to ensure that the firearm is unloaded and to handle it safely. Applying gun oil or wiping the exterior will not clean the internals of the firearm and may cause damage if done before unloading. Disassembling the firearm should only be done as much as the manufacturer recommends, and is not the first step in the cleaning process. This is why the first step in cleaning a firearm is to unload it.
