I’m self-trained, and only have a few rifles, so my knowledge is limited, but given how deadly firearms are, I find it hard to believe anyone could own a gun and not educate themselves at the very least on how to tell if the chamber is clear or the magazine is empty.

It’s the very first thing I needed to know about my guns. But I guess there are all types of people.

You still don’t point it at someone even if you know the gun isn’t loaded. Always handle the gun as if it is loaded. Even when it isn’t.

Most of these actors don’t own or know guns except on the set
They are not like us as you said
It’s unusual one would know enough to know how to check and it’s not customary
They usually rely on the armorer

Exceptions exist of course we can likely guess who they are

Tom selleck
Kurt Russell

And so on
