BULLSHIT. ALL guns are considered loaded until personally verified that they aren't. Are you telling me that, if you were in this situation, you would stop to confirm that he really has bullets?

In the past I have worked at a local Sports store behind the counter selling guns. We had many law enforcement personel in our store quite regularly. Several told me and other workers and customers several things which included -
1. If you plan to shoot in self defense that you should shoot to kill to prevent the criminal bringing charges against you for injury.
2. Never shoot a man in the back. You will be held responsible.
3. Always consider a gun (or look alike gun) loaded.
The last rule we followed in the gun store religiously. Before we handed any gun to a customer for inspection we were required to open the chamber and remove the clip to ensure that it's not loaded. Then there were instances when teenage kids thought it would be funny to come in and put bullets in our guns while we were looking. We were lucky on more than one occaision that we opened everything before handing the guns over and regularly went through the rifles to inspect that they weren't loaded.
I will still follow those rules.
