Dry fire is absolutly with an empty and unloaded firearm. Although some folks will use snap caps to cusion the firing pin. A well maintained modern firearm (center fire) can be dry fired without damage, but if you're concerned, use the snap caps.
Rimfire dryfiring is a bad thing since the firing pin is going to hit metal, not air.
