I'm surprised you didn't see the spent casing when you were cleaning the gun.
Thanks for the wake up post. Seriously - the four rules do work.

That gun looks like it has an EXPENDED .22 rimfire round.
I got old by sticking my little finger in every, and I do mean every, reciever following a visual check.
I'm sure someone will rush out and make a pic rail adapter so an eraser can be mounted to the front of an AR now.Remember they do not put erasers on firearms.
I don't follow. It's open bolt, to clear it you remove the magazine. Am I missing something? It fires from an open bolt, so there's nothing in the chamber.I once just barely stopped someone from "clearing" an open-bolt MAC-10. In a room full of people.
I concede the usefulness of the various "rules" of handling firearms. My Dad only taught me two as a child:
1) don't point a gun at something you don't intend to shoot
2) always treat a gun like it is loaded
I have half a dozen guns within a few steps of where I'm sitting. One, I know is ready to fire. Most of the others, I can't remember. It doesn't matter whether they're loaded or not; I treat them like they are, and I don't point them at things I don't want to put holes in...
I guess Dad's rules were more an "awareness" thing than a detailed checklist.
