This right here is why it's valuable to use the lever. People get the order backward all the time. This is why the military makes good use of clearing barrels. Anyone who's ever been in a combat arena has likely heard a shot fired into a clearing barrel because the order was reversed.
This is why checking the chamber twice is good. This is why requiring the trigger to be pulled to field strip is bad.
