In the event of a misfire, what should you do?

Look down the barrel to find the issue
Immediately unload and check the firearm
Wait 15-30 seconds, then safely try to clear the firearm
Continue pulling the trigger to ensure it's not delayed

The correct answer is: Wait 15-30 seconds, then safely try to clear the firearm

In the event of a misfire, it is important to wait 15-30 seconds before attempting to clear the firearm. This waiting period is crucial to ensure that there is no delayed ignition that could cause the firearm to discharge unexpectedly. By waiting, you reduce the risk of a potential accident or injury. Therefore, the correct course of action in such a situation is to wait before safely attempting to clear the firearm.
