Craigster,
Your analogy of the rented car is wrong. Checking the firearm status as too whether or not it is loaded is analogous to a walk around of the car to look for flat tires and other major problems, it is faster to check the firearm than a walk-around. Your analogy to putting the car on a lift for an inspection is more along the lines of a function check, again far more involved and longer on a car than firearm.
As far as chain of custody being broken by conducting a safety check I am at a loss for words on that level of SNAFU.
