Make sure it's loaded unless someone who is not trained or otherwise not suppose to gain access to your firearm.

An unloaded gun is very unsafe.

Make sure the magazine is removed too!

HAH. Touche

Once I was talking to someone while safety checking my pistol before handing it over and I accidentally racked the slide to remove the live round before I removed the clip. Just a reminder that even if you are experienced and not paying 100% attention to what you were doing that accidents can happen.

I am a safety nut and was totally embarrassed at my mistake even though I caught it instantaneously.

No one was ever in harms way, but it became a teaching moment for someone who isn't that familiar with firearms.

Always remove the clip before clearing your round. :)
