That bucket is sobering
All guns are loaded.
Even the ones that aren't.
If you clear the chamber, sorry no, a new round teleported in. If you point the barrel at something, you'd better be prepared to live with having blasted a gruesome hole in it.
All firearms chambers contain a quantum ammo wave function meaning a firearm with no magazine that was just checked still contains a probable round.
The only way to safely collapse this function is using something like a chamber flag, or disassembling the firearm.
I've always figured the ammo fairies can't reload my gun if it hasn't left my hands. This perspective is kind of necessary if you want to do dry fire practice at home or, like, disassemble your Glock without first pointing it at a sandbag.
I always verify when I pick it up, but there's no need to keep verifying.
(Of course you still don't point it at people, that's just a matter of principle)
