I like to dry fire when bored. Last thing I want to do is reach for a gun and pop.

I agree... I keep loaded guns around all the time, but there's almost never a round in the chamber (except for the handgun I keep bedside), and I ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS check to see if a gun is unloaded... ===> Drop Mag, Check Chamber for clear. EVERY TIME.
If I just cleaned a gun, and set it down after checking it's empty, and later pick it up, I IMMEDIATELY check to see that the gun is empty/clear. *NEVER* trust your memory, and NEVER assume anything with guns. When it comes to guns, my life's mantra truly shines: "Paranoia Equals Safety!"
My friends/family used to always think I was paranoid for carrying mace & a knife with me EVERYWHERE. Then my brother came up to visit me, and left his gun at home (he's an LEO), and said in my neighborhood (which I thankfully moved out of since) he REALLY wished he was carrying.
!!!PARANOIA = SAFETY!!!
Never trust your memory. Lord knows it has failed me in the past (academically speaking).
