Always open and the chamber before handing a firearm to someone and always inspect the chamber when receiving it.
This a basic safety precaution I don't often see.

It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
Totally agree with the above statement.
Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

Same guys, always open the action and inspect when receiving / handing a rifle over!!!!
While I might not be as good as I once was, Im as good once as I ever was!
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
I'm slack with this. I know if Im loaded or not and let who ever needs to know know.

You should be shot! Toby slack is not a word to use here!! surely if someone hands you a firearm, the muzzles safe and if the actions closed you open it. We always had a system of some sort when out shooting, including spot checks!

The most important rule imo is keeping that muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

what's the best thing regarding this with a semi rifle or pump shottie?
If i could have a full time job shooting pests i'm up for over time.
With a semi, I drop to one knee, magazine out, tilt-cock, tilt-look. Hold working parts to the rear / apply hold-open (if applicable). Allow receiving shooter to confirm chamber empty. Hand over. Pump action much the same, unload until empty, action open and visually inspect chamber, check elevator, check magazine (tube). Hand over with action open.
Why drop to the knee?

Seems like alot of work to just empty a gun and show someone tbh
