To verify if I'm cocked and lock for carry:
I never trust them and honestly never look at them, period. Press checks work for me. I always pinch the slide with my support hand's index finger and thumb from underneath, finger off the trigger, muzzle in a safe direction, off hand never in front of the muzzle and peek in for a rim.
To verify I'm unloaded:
Never even look at the indicator...safe direction, finger off the trigger and rack it a few times before a visual chamber inspection.
I could care less if they are on the firearm. I do not however like the gigantic ones with red paint and warning labels stamped all over. Stop stamping warnings on my firearms!!!!!! While we're at it...I also hate all the permenant idiot labels they stick on our cars (sun-visors in particular) these days.
