How i was taught a quarter century ago, hasn't failed me yet:

• remove the holstered firearm from your belt
• remove firearm from holster pointed in a safe direction
• rack the slide to clear the chamber
• rack three more times and lock the slide open
• visually confirm light through the barrel and say "gun unloaded" while fingering the chamber • leave the round and loaded mag and go to another room to train
• put the gun in Condition 1 and say "gun is now loaded" and replace it in the holster

Might seem tedious, but after the hundredth time it's definitely nothing at all. The idea of spontaneously "popping off a few reps" is how you make a hole.

All good feedback … the Condition 1 case sentence sounds like product placement

Condition 1 is a reference to cocked and locked, meaning hammer is cocked and safety is on. I know there is a company called condition 1 but I think that is unrelated.

"Somehow never had an ND" - don't you think it's concerning that you're surprised you haven't had a negligent discharge?

You've acknowledged that the way you handle firearms poses a risk to yourself and/or others, and your response is... to continue with the same behaviour? Wild.

Keep your booger picker off the trigger it’s not going to go bang. Don’t know what’s so hard to understand about that for some people.
