Steve, what part of my advice is unsafe? If they're treating a gun as if it's always loaded, as they should, then it's certainly no less safe for it to be unloaded. If they're treating it as if it's unloaded then the advice is pointless anyway, and they should not have a gun in their hands period.

Four Rules:

#1 Treat every gun as if it's loaded always.
My advice doesn't cause the user to violate this rule.

#2 Never point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to kill or destroy.
Again, no rule violation caused by my advice.

#3 Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.
No rule violation.

#4 Be absolutely sure of your target and what is behind it.
Again, no rule violation.

If someone acts like an idiot while using my advice, then they would be doing the stupid thing even without my advice.

Do you take issue with me having a friend load the magazine? I say that if your friends can't be trusted to handle your firearms and shoot with you then you don't need to be friends with them anyway.

Tell me what part of my advice is so unsafe? I don't want to be giving it if it is.
