How often should a firearm be cleaned to keep it in top condition?

  1. After each use

  2. Once a month

  3. Before each use

  4. Yearly

The correct answer is: After each use

Firearms should be cleaned after each use to maintain their top condition. Cleaning a firearm after use prevents dirt, oil, and other contaminants from building up in its parts which can lead to malfunction or damage. This is why the other choices are incorrect - Choosing option B would not ensure that the firearm is clean and well-maintained after each time it is used. - Option C may seem like a close alternative, but cleaning before each use may not be necessary since the previous cleaning may have been sufficient. - Option D of cleaning yearly is not frequent enough to keep the firearm in good condition as it may not be used frequently throughout the year, and dirt can still accumulate over time.
