Rifle: Point weapon at the floor, and if it has a detachable magazine, detach it. Open the bolt, and inspect any integral interior magazine to be sure it has no rounds in it. Check the chamber to be sure it is empty. Leave bolt or action open. The weapon is now cleared.

Handgun, revolver: Point the weapon at the floor. If it has an exterior hammer,make sure the hammer is down, or in "safety" position. Check that all cylinders are empty. If the cylinder does not swing out, each chamber must be checked individually. Leave cylinder in swung-out position if the weapon has one. The weapon is cleared.

Handgun, Automatic: Point the weapon at the floor. Make sure hammer is down, if not, GENTLY lower it, keeping weapon pointed at the floor. Eject magazine, making sure it is empty. Open slide to "lock position, and inspect the chamber to be sure it is empty. Leave magazine out, and slide open. Weapon is cleared.

Can you wear a military cosplay to comic con?

Yes, but if you decide you want a cosplay weapon for your uniform make sure it is visibily clear it isn't real. You don't want to be arrested or shot because someone made a mistake thinking you were carrying a weapon around. If you cosplay in a military uniform, keep your weapon bagged up while transporting it. When you get there, unbag it, but again, make sure it's clear you have a toy weapon.
