I vote with those here who think one should know the status of one's own weapon, and if it's someone elses (or even your own), you trust but verify. Press check, press check, press check.

I wouldn't mind if the Glock had a chamber-loaded indicator, but it doesn't bother me one bit that it doesn't. Whether the Glock is idiot-proof... well, no gun is, period. Engage brain first.
