  1. Open the action

  2. Remove the ammunition

  3. Check the safety

  4. Point the muzzle in a safe direction

The correct answer is: Point the muzzle in a safe direction

The first step in unloading a firearm is to point the muzzle in a safe direction. This is crucial to ensure that the firearm is not pointing at anyone or anything that could be harmed in case the firearm accidentally discharges during the unloading process. Once the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction, you can then proceed with the other steps such as opening the action, removing the ammunition, and checking the safety.
