When checking whether a firearm is loaded you do not see the pointy thing.

It also conditions your brain to not immediately associate brass in there as a live round.

Its piss poor gun safety practice, that greatly increases the chances of a negligent discharge Just because some people are too cheap to spend 20 bucks.

That’s even worse when checking if a fire arm is loaded and theirs a case in it it’s loaded full stop

Agreed. I also have no idea how the hell you can truly check if a firearm is loaded without seeing the pointy thing at the end of the brass... My procedure for checking for loaded is to UNLOAD.

Thats the point. Brass in there means loaded.

Correct but my point was, if you're checking and not seeing a pointy thing, you're not checking properly.
