only an absolute firearms illiterate would make the comment you just made. i don't care who checked the chamber. the whole room/field cannot verify that. you never, never put your finger on a trigger like this. habits are safety. period. nor do you muzzle cross people. and if the idiot you are handing a weapon to does not know this: do not hand them the weapon. please stop pretending you know what you are speaking about. you are part of the problem.
