So, because I do not want to cup my hand over the ejection port of any given firearm, I am wondering; what is the most ideal location to rack a live round from the breech?
If for instance, you're CCW and you come back home at the end of the day and you're clearing the pistol, should you hover the ejection port directly over a desk, table etc.? (Obviously there are far more reasons why you'd clear a given firearm at your home but I list this as only one example.)
Or, if you're at the range shooting a pistol, rifle or shotgun--whatever--and you're either done for the day or you clear it during cease-fire.... Where should you dump the round out? (I guess this applies more toward autoloaders.)
While we're at it... One more question:
A shotgun with a tube mag (I think I'm using the right term).... Is it generally acceptable to leave a shotgun with the action open and a live round on top of the follower? Or is leaving it in such a condition not acceptable?
