Before handling any firearm, what is the first thing you should do?

  1. Check if it's loaded

  2. Put on safety goggles

  3. Load the firearm

  4. Aim it in a safe direction

The correct answer is: Check if it's loaded

You should always check if a firearm is loaded before handling it, as it is a crucial safety measure. Safety goggles and loading the firearm are both steps that should only be taken after ensuring that the firearm is not loaded. Aiming the firearm in a safe direction may also be a necessary step, but it is not the first thing you should do before handling a firearm.
