If your clean one or 100, Clean first then load them after. If needed.
Also don't clean when sleepy...

Glad it worked out well. Appreciate you sharing. That's helpful to me.
And we have a winner! If you don't want to be without protection whilst cleaning, load up a shotty to have in reach.Originally Posted by wizzi01

Rule number one no ammunition of any kind near guns being worked on.
Glad you're alright buddy.
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.

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

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.
Nice, i do the same thing.Originally Posted by JDG
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.
