2. DonP, seriously, explain something to me

Whenever I clean my guns, especially a semi-auto pistol, the magazine is removed and the slide is locked back and any round in the chamber is ejected. The firearm is visually inspected to ensure it's clear. The slide lock is then unlocked and the slide slides off the front (In most cases) of the firearm. It's impossible to fire the gun WHILE it's being cleaned (since it would be in pieces).

How in the world do people fire a gun while it's being cleaned.

Be blunt. I'm a big boy and can handle it.
