No you can't. You can see if there are casings in the chambers, but you can't tell if they've been fired or not.
HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! Rastoff, I love you! You are right! Except for the fact that any gun I take to the range to shoot leaves the range unloaded, ALWAYS, I can see how that could happen.

Elm Creek does have a point:

My primary carry is a pinned and recessed Smith & Wesson Model 65-1. I check all my revolvers before I holster them, even the ones that are not P&R.
Recessed cylinders WOULD MOST ASSUREDLY make it harder to tell visually if the gun is loaded or not.

Still, while I understand being super diligent about checking to see if your carry gun is loaded or not it's a very personal diligence. I am super diligent about never unloading my carry guns (ignoring range time) so until and unless I get stupid I am unconcerned about the subject. But it is definitely an interesting discussion to see what others do.
