If you ask any firearms instructor to list out the requirements or best practices for cleaning weapons, you'll get a list of responses in a variety of priority. The one thing almost every firearms instructor in the world will agree on: No ammunition is permitted in your cleaning area — ever. "Accidental" discharges usually aren't; negligent discharges are. To help avoid the unintentional chambering and discharge of any ammo, it's simply best not to have any in the area where you clean your weapons.
