    If your clean one or 100, Clean first then load them after. If needed.

    Also don't clean when sleepy...

    And we have a winner! If you don't want to be without protection whilst cleaning, load up a shotty to have in reach.

    I have a fool proof method....
    If its in a holster, its loaded *or* If its loaded, its in a holster

    Never, ever do I leave a loaded weapon just sitting around naked....

    My rule of safety is to assume all/any guns are loaded.
    That forces me to check and unload ( even if I know it's not loaded) everytime I pick one up for cleaning or just handling.

    I like this.

    The only loaded guns in my house that are loaded and not in a holster are in their "place".

    Wow!

    I'm REALLY lucky.........

    I n had a drink the other night while watching TV and there was a LOADED gun on my hip, more close by, and a loaded shotgun just up the stairs.

    Hundreds of rounds of ammo in the same room & NOTHING went BOOM.

    I should have bought a lottery ticket.

    My personal practice... check for clear on every weapon I handle, every time. Even in the LGS! Thanks for reminding us how important it is to safely handle ourselves while dealing with potentially dangerous objects! P.S. The object becomes dangerous during any physical human interaction.
