For safety reasons I am in the habit of opening the action of any gun I pick up to check whether it's loaded. Usually it is to make sure it's unloaded before I hand it to someone, show it, clean it, etc. But I have found that it's a good habit for checking to make sure I don't carry unloaded.
That's everytime I pick up a gun, even if I just set it down a few minutes ago.
