I understand the point you're making, and don't mean to be argumentative, but I see it a little differently. If you tell a kid that every gun is loaded, yet every time they check it's not loaded, they're going to figure out pretty quick that every gun is not actually loaded, and hopefully at least treat them as if they are. I tell my kids to always assume, and they are exceedingly careful with guns, never touching one without permission, and always checking when handed one.In my opinion "treat as if" and "assume" are too easy for a kid to cheat on.
As an extension, I taught him to open the action of every firearm he handles before anything else. This act confirms the status of the firearm. Even if someone says it's unloaded, check. It's an absolute.
And never ever ever hand someone a firearm with a closed bolt/slide/cylinder.
