Even if someone just cleared the gun and handed it to you, it is your responsibility to clear it yourself. You can never be too cautious with a lethal weapon. Fourth is the second rule of safe firearm handling: Don't point the gun at anything you do not wish to destroy. It's a dangerous piece of equipment and needs to be respected as such. Number five is the third cardinal rule of safe gun ...
