If you're going to show your gun off to anyone, at the very least - the very least - make sure it's not loaded.

Went to a friend's house for a little get together once; a few of our other friends were there and our host
was moving his firearms to a more secure location as some of the guests were planning to spend the night.
One of them asked to see one of the firearms and the first thing my friend did was, pointing the gun away
from everyone else, pull out the magazine, eject the chambered round, and pull back the slide
3 or 4 times just to make sure. He then handed him the firearm and said, "Don't point it at anyone."

All the same, it's a shame this guy went out like that. I feel pretty bad for the little lady too. That's not something
she'll be forgetting anytime soon.

Everyone who owns a firearm should be sure to teach the people around them at least the very basics of firearm safety.
