Impeccable trigger discipline.

Finger away from trigger? Very good.

I mean, you do want to check for wear and or obstructions in the barrel

but generally you do that with the chamber open and not someone else fucking holding it

If you're gonna look down the business end of the barrel, the safer thing would be to remove the magazine and lock the action open.

Even safer would be removing the barrel from the receiver but with a lot of guns this isn't really feasible.

Is the action even in a position where daylight can be seen through it?

What could possibly go wrong?

On an M1/m14? Yeah I think so. They are pretty wide open at the top. Less so on a more enclosed system like an AR.

But locking the action back is more of a safety measure really. As long as the gun isn't in battery and doesn't have a magazine inserted it just takes other variables out of the equation.

Technically that rifle could be fully loaded and as long as the girl doesn't pull the trigger everyone will be unharmed. We know people are stupid and spastic, so it's best to be 1000% sure, because after handling firearms for decades, you can get very complacent and end up with an ND because of something stupid.

I will say, the fifth rule of gun safety should be "if you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol stay the fuck away from guns", because the only times I've seen NDs I'm real life (not at a range at least) was because someone drunk or high on pills fucking with their guns.
