I think you are correct in your reasoning for the sticker. That way if an accident or whatever you want to call it happens, they can come back with a “we told you so”.
LOL Wut
Costco recently had a Gun Vault on sale and I ordered one to keep a firearm handy on the headboard. It arrived yesterday, and when I opened the cover, inside was the following sticker:
![Asphalt Road surface Font Tar Electric blue]()
Now, I can store a pistol with an empty chamber with a loaded magazine lying next to it. It would only take a few more seconds to shove the mag in the gun. But an empty revolver and a speed loader? Seems like it would take a lot more precious seconds to grab the gun, flip open the cylinder, grab the speed loader, insert the rounds and close the cylinder. In either case, if it happens in the wee hours and I'm roused from a deep sleep, that only adds to the difficulty. If someone is breaking in, those few extra seconds could be crucial.
So, are they just putting that sticker there as a CYA?

I don't have an LCP II but someone who does said to me that his manual said the gun shouldn't be carried with a round in the chamber. 
I can't find the video it's on but Bill Engvell once said there was a warning label on Prep H that said "not to be taken orally".
This video has other even stranger warning labels.

That Preparation H warning is Berkeley Breathed's fault. He showed Opus using it. I have to wonder how many people saw the comic and decided to give it a try . . .. . . I can't find the video it's on but Bill Engvell once said there was a warning label on Prep H that said "not to be taken orally".
I did, but I put it back because on the reverse side it said, "Warranty void if removed."
Actually, that joke is probably older than Breathed. I remember seeing a Borscht Belt stand-up comic (Henny Youngman, maybe?) getting laffs on a '50s variety show with it. (Uncle Milty, maybe?) (The older I get the more "maybes" creep in.
