    Wait, what? How is this not normal practice? I’m Norwegian, don’t own a gun, but I started shooting at the local gun range when I was 12. First thing we were thought was to ALWAYS check the chamber when a gun entered or left your hand. It was the same in the military.

    I own a start gun, and even though it’s been in my costume box, and I’m out of bullets, I check the chamber. Ever fucking time. My friend said I was dumb that I did it that way - I told him gun safety is no joke, and continue checking the chamber for a start gun.
