Something like this is why I think it's ok to look down the bore. This excludes hang fires of course...

So do we have a consensus here? Should we follow the cfsc teachings or consider safer alternatives?

As long as you follow all the steps, looking down the barrel is 100% safe.

You need to remember the rules of firearm handling:
1) Never point a loaded weapon in an unsafe direction.
2) All weapons are loaded until YOU personally verify it is safe.
3) Verifying the barrel is the last step of making it safe. You may use a cleaning rod, if you have one. Failing that, eyeballs will do the job, provided you have -done- -every- -step-.
