Do you or do you not agree that ALL firearms should be treated as loaded weapons? (I really don't want to discuss the differences between figurative and literal speech.)
Treating all firearms as if they are loaded is good practice, as I stated above.
Treating an unloaded firearm as if it were loaded does not, however, make it safer. What it does do reinforce good habits. Treating all firearms as if they were loaded reduces the chance of an accidental discharge when a firearm actually is loaded - whether the condition is correctly known or not.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
