My point, exactly.

Sunfish: thanks! Being ex-military can you give any safe, simple pointers to those of us who are gun-ignorant please? Are there any checks that can be simply made beyond those outlined in the original post or in your post? And I agree: my attitude has always been if they ain't prepared to prove the weapon is safe, then neither they nor the weapon fly.

hmmm... not too keen on that idea! What if there is one up the spout and all I end up proving is that the weapon was loaded, whilst peering down the barrel??? Something rather Darwinian about that I reckon
