Personally I think the whole process is retarded. Rule #1. Treat every gun as if it was loaded.
Having to sit there and watch the presenter rack the slide and show you an empty chamber, then an empty magazine is just pure folly and a waste of time. Either just say "all weapons have been safety checked", or better yet just get on with the video.
Maybe it somehow comforts the presenter, but in all honesty you can demo a gun that is fully loaded. Just keep your finger out of the trigger.
I could see if you are doing a skill drill showing how to remove your gun from the holster, but still save the safety work off line and stay on topic.

Every one that does videos should just do them and don't worry about trolls. They aint worth it. James Yeager does danger checks on his videos and never shot himself yet. You can't get hurt by a video so everyone needs to get over it. Saftey checking on a video is a stupid waste of time. Nuff said...

i agree-i've never understood the safety checks on youtube videos. shear idiocy
If only I could get back the time wasted on watching this video. I understand what he said by what person would do a gun video without safety checking the gun before they filmed the video. But even if you do it before and dureing your video it's still the right thing to do. We all know it only takes on screw up to add fuel to the ongoing fire between the pro gun and anti gun groups
