What is the first step in the process of cleaning a firearm?

Apply rust preventative
Remove all ammunition from the area

The correct answer is: Ensure the firearm is unloaded

The correct first step in the process of cleaning a firearm is to ensure that the firearm is unloaded. This is crucial for safety reasons before beginning any maintenance or cleaning procedures on a firearm. By verifying that the firearm is unloaded, you minimize the risk of unintentional discharge while handling the firearm during the cleaning process. It is essential to always treat every firearm as if it is loaded, even if you believe it is not. This practice of first verifying the unloaded status of the firearm helps to prevent accidents and ensure a safe cleaning procedure.
