It's entirely possible to be sure a gun is not loaded. If I pick up a gun, remove the magasine, clear the breech and can visually see no round in the gun, it is not loaded.
However, it's a matter of principle. I agree Clarkson shouldn't have done it. I don't think people will copy Clarkson, but I still don't like it. It's a bad thing to do, and I wouldn't do it myself. What I have shot the most is two barrel shotguns. With a two barrel shot gun, it's so easy to establish wether or not it's loaded a child could do so. I still wouldn't do it.
