This. Unless the barrel is stuck in the open position and you can see daylight through the other side, always assume the gun is loaded. Even if you are 100% sure it is not loaded , we are creatures of habit. If you make a habit of putting your finger on the trigger of unloaded guns eventually you are going to do the same thing with a loaded one by accident. If I'm handing someone a hand gun I always remove the magazine and pull back the barrel. Because even with the magazine out, there could be a chambered round.
