First and foremost always point the muzzle in a safe direction. Then drop the magazine out of the rifle.At this point pull back on the charging handle(or bolt knob)and pull the bolt back to unload a possible loaded round out of the chamber. Insure the rifle is empty and release the bolt to close on a empty chamber before storing the rifle in its case. I also release the trigger to keep the spring tension off the bolt spring.
Much the same process for a semi-auto pistol. Muzzle pointed in a safe direction, safety 'on' if so equipped, remove the magazine, still pointed in a safe direction - turn safety 'off', rack the slide to remove any round in the chamber. Rack it again to make sure, pull trigger to release tension.

How does a person know if there is no bullets in a gun?
Well, that's going to depend on the scenario and type of firearm you're referring to.If you're clearing a firearm, you'll drop the magazine (if it's a detachable magazine firearm), and open the chamber to clear it. If it has a fixed magazine, it may either need to be opened to be cleared, or rounds may need to be cycled through the action to empty the magazine.Do NOT look down the barrel of the firearm. This is inherently dangerous.

What is the difference between a clip and a magazine?
A clip just holds ammunition & will not feed ammunition since there is not a spring to push the ammunition into the firearm. A Magazine is a feeding device that holds the ammunition & has a spring to feed the ammunition into the firearm. Also a clip is normally used to feed a magazine. As far as magazines go there are numerous types. The common ones are a box magazine, tubular magazine, rotary magazine & these can be internal or detachable. Most bolt action rifles have an internal magazine while most semi automatic firearms have a detachable magazine like what is used in an AK-47 or the AR-15 series rifles. One internal magazine semi auto rifle is the M-1 Garand, it also needs a clip to feed it. Many 22 rifles have a tubular magazine as do many shotguns. An example of a rotary box magazine would be the 10/22 ruger or the old Savage 99. The 10/22 is detachable where the Savage 99 is not (in the old ones, the newer Savage 99 magazines are detacable & I believe a regular box style). Hope this helps some.
