What precautions should be taken when loading and unloading a firearm?

Ensure the safety is off before handling the firearm
Keep the muzzle pointed at others while unloading
Aim the gun at the nearest target when unloading
Ensure the safety is on and point the muzzle in a safe direction

The correct answer is: Ensure the safety is on and point the muzzle in a safe direction

When loading and unloading a firearm, it is crucial to always ensure that the safety is engaged, and the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction. Option A is incorrect because the safety should be on at all times when handling a firearm. Option B is incorrect because the muzzle should never be pointed at another person, even while unloading. Option C is incorrect as it goes against basic firearm safety rules, which state that the muzzle should always be pointed in a safe direction. Therefore, the best precaution to take when loading and unloading a firearm is to ensure the safety is on and point the muzzle in a safe direction.
