I would just add “check to see said firearm is unloaded”*

Nope.

You wanna know why?

Because Laz's Varient of the 2nd Rule of Firearms Handling is this:

2) ALL FIREARMS ARE LOADED. EVEN WHEN YOU PERSONALLY HAVE UNLOADED THEM AND CHECKED THEM AGAIN, THEY ARE STILL LOADED.

Can’t agree more with this.

Never forget the gun is made to shoot a bullet. There is no take back for when a round goes off.

2) ALL FIREARMS ARE LOADED. EVEN WHEN YOU PERSONALLY HAVE UNLOADED THEM AND CHECKED THEM AGAIN, THEY ARE STILL LOADED.

Great rule. I live by this even when they’re in pieces on the workbench.

Thanks Laz - in that case, use a toy!
