My local range (indoor) requires you to check in and verify your weapon is unloaded until you reach the firing line. The other day, someone came in and pulled his gun out and said it was unloaded. BOOM! Suddenly, there's a hole in the floor.

(Of course, it could be argued that if he hadn't been required to show his gun, then it would have stayed in his bag until he got to the firing line and never would have gone off, but I've never heard of an accident that didn't involve an 'unloaded' gun.)
