Just ask nicely, like one should do all the time when one wants to check out another's property.
Yep, no problem, just:
1. Ask first
2. Check and double check chamber
2b. Check and double check chamber
3. dry-fire, observing all safety rules (point at the ground or sky)

No, not really. The firing pin is "meant" to hit an undented primer, not one already punched in. A snap cap is intended to provide a constant resistance, like an unfired shell casing with intact primer would, so it buffers the firing pin from over travel.Instead of snap caps, wouldn't a spent empty casing suffice? Afterall, that's exactly what the firing pin is meant to hit.
Sorry for the dumb question. I'd rather ask then have a staff flip out on me.
