Soooo .... it depends upon the gun and the script then ... do I have it right?
How about western with a Winchester ... should the actor check .... and what would "The Rifleman" do?
Do they remove the rounds in a Winchester or Colt SAA and check them .... 'cause they are all "loaded" ... with something.
Poke, poke, poke ----> bear
All in fun because it won't stop raining
