I work partime at a small gun shop. The rule is ALL GUNS ARE CONSIDERED LOADED UNTIL YOU PERSONALLY CHECK IT.

When I show a firearm to anyone. I alway open the breach. even if I see some open the breach, I will open it again when the firearm is returned to me.

I sometime have to work on firearms that are loaded and will not let you open the breach. I once had a muzzle loading shotgun brought in to clean so someone could put it over the fireplace. The gun was loaded with blackpowder old newspaper and shot. the newspaper was dated, 1879. David. PS. It took a week to let oil down the muzzle let it soak and draw the shot and powder charge out. The powder under the newspaper would still burn.
