GREAT post. You definitely should do the NRA Instructor training - I bet you'd be a great instructor. :-)
I got a little chuckle at your comment after rule #3 - I do the same thing. People give me funny looks but hey - better safe than sorry...good muscle memory is a good thing!
Wonderful post! Thanks!
Canadian Firearm Safety calls this Acts and Prove:
THE VITAL FOUR ACTS OF FIREARMS SAFETY
* Assume every firearm is loaded.
* Control the muzzle direction at all times.
* Trigger finger must be kept off the trigger and out of the trigger guard.
* See that the firearm is unloaded - PROVE it safe.
PROVE
* Point the firearm in the safest available direction.
* Remove all cartridges.
* Observe the chamber.
* Verify the feeding path.
* Examine the bore.

Add to Rule #4: Be aware of what may come between you and your target.
I know this from experience.
