What is the first step in the firing sequence?

  1. Pulling the trigger

  2. Firing the primer

  3. Loading the chamber

  4. Aiming the firearm

The correct answer is: Pulling the trigger

The first step in the firing sequence is pulling the trigger. When a firearm is properly loaded and the safety is off, pulling the trigger is what initiates the firing mechanism, causing the primer to ignite and the firearm to discharge. This action should only be done when the firearm is pointed in a safe direction and the shooter is ready to fire. The other options are steps that follow pulling the trigger in the firing sequence: firing the primer, loading the chamber, and aiming the firearm.
