When I was a kid you could get a hunting license at 12 y/o IF you take the hunter's safety course.

Two key things about guns:

#1   Treat every gun as if it is loaded, even if it's not loaded.  It's a good habit to get into.

#2   Always point a gun down and away from people or animals when not using it.

That is correct.  The only time my 9mm has a round in the chamber is when I go to the range or I am carrying.  When I get home I drop the magazine, make sure it is clear, put it on safe and then put the 13 round magazine in don't rack the slide. Then I put it down on the dresser or lock it in the safe.  Later, if I pick it up I make sure it is on safe, drop the mag and rack the slide to make sure it is empty.

If you do it every time you never forget.
