If a firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, it is important to follow proper safety practices and handle the situation carefully. Option A, continuing to pull the trigger, can potentially cause a negligent discharge and should be avoided. Option B, turning the firearm towards yourself, is extremely dangerous and should never be done. Option D, immediately putting the gun down and stepping away, may not address the issue and can also put others in danger. The best course of action is to keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction, carefully open the action to inspect for any malfunctions, and then address the issue safely.
