What is the first thing you should do if your firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled?

  1. Try pulling the trigger again

  2. Point the firearm in a safe direction and try to fix the problem

  3. Unload the firearm and check for obstructions in the barrel

  4. Shake the firearm

The correct answer is: Unload the firearm and check for obstructions in the barrel

If your firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, the first thing you should do is to unload the firearm and check for obstructions in the barrel. It is important to always treat a firearm as if it is loaded and pointing it in a safe direction while troubleshooting any issues. Checking the barrel for any obstructions ensures that there is nothing blocking the path of the bullet that could be causing the malfunction. This response prioritizes safety by addressing the potential mechanical issue in a controlled and careful manner.
