I always test the trigger first while pointed in a totally unsafe direction.
Man I'm working the action and confirming any weapon is unloaded way before I get around to popping take down pins or slide retention levers on any firearm.
I've had loaded weapons handed to me at more than one meet. It's always sketchy when you pick up a pistol and the mags are all empty but there is a round in the chamber.
ALWAYS CHECK. Every. Single. Time.
As a courtesy when I hand someone a firearm I tend to work the action/lock the bolt/slide back to show it is unloaded. Or open the cylinder on a revolver. Unless it's at a M&G and we're standing in a circle and it's been fondled for the fifth time and hasn't left my sight. And then I still do it half the time.
