CMV: A gun is always loaded, regardless of who you are, what situation you are in, or what others around you have told you.

This was drilled into my mind a thousand times, I am curious if people think there are legitimate cases where this doesn't apply. I was always told that regardless of whether or not you just checked the gun, or just finished firing it, or any other set of circumstances, the only safe way to approach gun handling is to assume the weapon is always loaded and act accordingly. I consider this to be a golden rule of firearms and I am curious if others do too. I feel like many negligent discharges would be avoided if this rule was being strictly followed.

Film is a great example of when this doesn't apply, you need to be able to point the weapon at someone and fire with confidence that the appropriate rounds are loaded. Military exercises that use blanks are another example.
