The first step to unloading a firearm is to ensure it is pointed in a safe direction and that the area is clear of people. Next, engage the safety mechanism, if available, and then remove the magazine or cylinder to ensure no ammunition is present. For loading, ensure the firearm is still pointed in a safe direction, insert the magazine or load the chamber with the appropriate ammunition, and then disengage the safety before handling further.
