Question

You are loading your firearm. You start by pointing the muzzle in a safe direction and putting the safety on. Which of these should you do next?

Answer 1

Answer:

Open the action and make sure the barrel is unobstructed.

Explanation:

The barrel is one of the crucial pieces of the firearm. It is the straight shooting-tube on the end of the weapon through which the projectile travels. Most often it is made of metal that can endure high pressure. The barrel should be clear and unobstructed in order for the safe usage of firearms.

Anything foreign that blocks the barrel may cause an explosion and injury during the usage of firearms.

After making sure the barrel is clear, one should put the safety on to load the ammunition for the shooting.
