Peace through strength
I whole-heartedly agree. See upthread for the Python rendered "safe"...I fully understand the it is an "Empty Chamber Indicator" and that to place the ECI in the barrel is a violation of the rules, but as a practical and technical matter, most double action revolvers have between 5 and 10 chambers in their cylinders so should that warrant 5 - 10 flags? The very supposition is ridiculous but no less so than to think an unloaded double action revolver with the cylinder open is not "Safe" with an ECI in the barrel.
In order to put in the flag, the cylinder must be open. If the cylinder is open, it can't possibly shoot.
