      Calling an unloaded gun loaded, is not responsible. With peoples willingness to deduct dangerous theories, they will conclude that if a gun is loaded even when its not, then i can as well keep it loaded at all times.

        It’s a counterintuitive mnemonic device to ensure a user doesn’t neglect gun safety precautions with a presumed unloaded gun. I think we all get that.

          Specifically to prevent people from using a real gun as a toy or prop and blowing their or someone else’s brains out because they thought it was unloaded. Effectively to treat all guns as loaded, just in case they actually are.

        If you ever apply for a job as an Armorer, keep this out of the cover letter.

        The same things are taught for powertools and industrial machines. It has power even though it doesnt. Its so ya dont kill someone by being mistaken. Its safety 101 for anything that can be deceptively safe when in the hands of a person.
