Also, even if the magazine is out, there is still one live in the chamber and can still hurt someone.

I came to the comments to say this exact thing. This is actually a leading cause of negligent discharge incidents. People eject the magazine and assume the gun is unloaded, completely forgetting about the round in the chamber. There’s a reason soldiers are trained to actually look into the chamber.

    I remembered being stupid at 18 and owning my first handgun. I was too young and stupid back then and almost got banned from the shooting range because I was shooting sideways like a "gangsta".

    There was a off duty LEO that was there that day and offered me some quick lessons on how to handle a gun. It was the best firearms training I have ever had.
