Never stop checking your firearms. It is well worth the worry and concern to be safe for all concerned. I have a religious respect and fear of my arms and ammo and yes, the revolver is safer.
So glad your story ended well!

I am so thankful I was taught well, and over and over. In this case the worst that would have happened was that I blew a hole in my kitchen floor... Thankfully I always keep it pointed in a safe direction- loaded or not (because a gun is NEVER to be considered unloaded - just keep that in your mind)
