Treat every gun as if it is loaded...or check with an expert to assure you it is safe.
As I understand it, there was a paid professional whose job it was to ensure the gun was safe. Perhaps Baldwin could have checked for himself (other say he absolutely should have) but he supposedly had a professional with more skills and knowledge tell him it was safe.
Should he trust the trained professional armorer or check the gun himself?
Should you trust the trained professional pilot or fly the plane yourself?
Should you trust your trained professional surgeon or operate on yourself?
Suing for hearing loss, temporary deafness, and vibrational shock?? Unfortunately, they will probably win.
