I'd assume they have to.

Reading the article, he quite apparently left out - "Step one - remove the magazine"
"Step 2, check the chamber."
"Step 3, check the chamber again..."

Hey, You missed one: Charlemont man injured cleaning gun
What is it with folks always seem to need to clean their gun.....? Like there is something wrong with a dirty gun. Where does this dirt come from? From a few rounds of shooting? Oh, I need to clean my gun now!! I better clean my gun now, ooops, it went off and I just shot myself!! Whoopsie doooo! Sorry, just had to say something here.

Rob, It's possible you've met the guy from Charlemont if you've been out to the Rally.
And just because the police report says they were cleaning it, and the newspaper article says they were cleaning it, and the medical records say they were cleaning it, and the insurance claims say they were cleaning it, doesn't always mean they were cleaning it.

I don't clean my guns that often right now, but when my daughter gets into her teens, I think most every gun in my collection will be cleaned to the point that the finish is worn off from cleaning....

Mostly it comes from either military service, or that everything they think they know about guns came second-, third-, or fourth-hand from someone who once fired a gun in basic training.
More military guns have been ruined from over-cleaning, than have ever failed from under-cleaning.
We had one particular dumbass in my platoon, whose M16 was rejected for turn-in to the armory (no big deal, everyone's rifle was rejected on the first pass). Except he took the instructions to "get all the black stuff off" quite literally. He was some kind of savant, because with nothing more than the issued cleaning kit, he came back with a bolt carrier group that looked like it had been chrome plated.
Understood, many possible reasons for stating "cleaning gun"
Shooting yourself with a gun and then saying"i was cleaning it and it just went off" is the emergency room foreign object equivalent of "I just slipped and fell and it ended up there"

"yes sir. I find it interesting that you managed to get a lightbulb/toy train/cucumber/ Glock 34 mos slide that far up there". Most er's have stories and or collections of said "accidents"
I have to go watch that now.
And look up more about the Kahr accident. My first thought was a weapon shipped back to them for repairs loaded.
This story had a happy ending:
Armed robbery suspect killed after police chase ends in crash in Randolph
Brookline MA, accidental discharge into a house while "adjusting revolver"
Gun Goes Off In Brookline, Bullet Into Home: Police

Shoulder holster?
Would adjusting a shoulder holster make one more prone to inadvertently cocking the hammer for a single-action AD, or for somehow trapping one’s finger for a double-action AD. It’s hard to picture any of this happening as reported. My guess is it wasn’t a revolver and the writer doesn’t know that handguns can be revolvers or auto-loaders.
