If you suspect that the barrel of a firearm has become obstructed, what should you do to clear the obstruction?

  1. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, load a round of ammunition and pull the trigger

  2. Point the muzzle in a safe direction, unload the firearm and clear it using the necessary tools

  3. Open the action and strike the firearm on the ground

  4. Dispose of the firearm immediately since it is no longer operational

The correct answer is: Point the muzzle in a safe direction, unload the firearm and clear it using the necessary tools

If you suspect that the barrel of a firearm is obstructed, it is important to never point the firearm in any direction, as there is a risk of an accidental discharge. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect. Additionally, option D is incorrect because a firearm should never be disposed of unless it is damaged beyond repair. Unloading the firearm and using the necessary tools to clear the obstruction is the safest and most appropriate course of action.
