I always, always check the weapon for rounds. At some point i quit being so 'careful'... not sure why, I don't shoot much anymore. But a couple of years back, I had a friend over and I was showing him my M1 Carbine and he checked the chamber, I had marked the magazine with red tape to show it had rounds in it.
Very embarrassed - I knew better and as Marc and others said, we simply have to never forget...
