In any firearm safety discussion or handling event:

In addition to the 4 absolutes I always drill this important sequence when clearing:

remove the magazine (source of ammunition) first

check the chamber second

If you reverse these steps, you have not cleared the firearm

My 9 y.o. son recites " no magazine, nothing in the chamber" any time we handle firearms.

My heart goes out to the girl and her family.
