      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.

        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.

        It’s another way of saying “treat any gun as if it were loaded”. That’s pretty basic firearm safety. You’d be shocked how often people get shot because someone incorrectly assumed a gun was unloaded, and when a mistake could easily maime or kill someone it’s irresponsible to leave any room for error.
