When storing a firearm, what is the first step you should take?

  1. Store it in a locked container

  2. Unload it

  3. Keep it in a gun case

  4. Register the firearm

The correct answer is: Unload it

When storing a firearm, the first step you should take is to unload it. This is a crucial safety measure to ensure that the firearm is not loaded and therefore cannot accidentally discharge. Storing a firearm while it is loaded poses a serious risk of injury or harm, so unloading it should always be the initial step in the storage process. Storing the firearm in a locked container, keeping it in a gun case, or registering the firearm are also important steps in firearm safety but unloading the firearm is the primary and most fundamental step to prevent accidents.
