Handling guns..politeness?

I learned around old collectors at a very young age about handling others stuff.

Never **** or work the action without invitation.
Never dry fire, although an old boy said-go ahead-you can't hurt a Colt.

I took a friend to look at a Katana a vet had.
He brought it out-not a bad late model, but the 1st thing my buddy did was grab the blade with his sweaty monkey paw-I thought he knew better.

I have never got any cotton gloves, but I watch what I touch.

Sometimes after so many years habdling thie stuff, I don't really need to pick up everything anymore.
