I was in Safeway yesterday a d picked up a copy of Handloader to see if there was anything l was interested in (there wasn't). I noticed on the cover a picture of a 1911 "type" pistol with the hammer cocked and mag in. The pic showed the right side so whether the safety was on or not could not be determined.
I've never reallu paid much attention before, but I have seen this repeated in other rags and advertisements and I'net pics. Seldom with revolvers. Also seldom with rifles and only then when the cocking piece is visible, and never with a lever action.
I was taught never to lay down a cocked firearm, handgun or rifle, because it isn't safe. You may know or think you remember that it is safe, but others don't KNOW.
I think such pictires may promote an unsafe attitude. What do you folks think?
