Always good to refresh your memory on the rules of safety. It can never hurt (but forgetting one certainly can!).

An addition to Bruce's comment on handing a gun to someone else. I've always said "never hand someone a loaded gun unless you want to get shot". In my opinion, you should always unload the weapon, open and lock the action, then hand it to them, so you both know the weapon is unloaded.
