One might think that it would depend on the circumstances.
In the middle of an heated debate, the risk of a hangfire going off, as it is ejected, is probably not a consideration.
During casual practice, it would be a different story.
Might as well take your time and investigate.
And how often does one happen, anyway?
The only hangfires I've ever experienced have been with black powder type muzzle loaders.
