When you're actively handling it on a live range that boomerism is true, but how about we stop being so afraid of guns that even when they've been verified to be in a safe condition with no live ammo anywhere near them we freak out because a kid wandered into frame?
Seriously, it's a metal tube without bullets, it's not going to get up and shoot the kid because he's on the porch. The kid isn't handling them and nobody's pointing a loaded gun at the kid.
Isn't this the thing we make fun of lefties for? Always blaming the gun as if it gets up and shoots shit on its own?
"Always treat the weapon as if it is loaded."

Always assume it's loaded.
People err.
One day you'll forget a step, and a bullet will be in the chamber.
Remember that old video? "I am the only person in this room qualified to handle this gun." BLAM, negligent discharge.
Ok you're never going to see the point I'm attempting to make so I guess we're done here.
By not playing Russian roulette with it.
