I'd say that a GM could certainly tell a player whose PC had the advantage that 'doing that with a firearm is something your PC knows that he ought not to do' if said PC was about to:

• pick up a dead/KOed bad guy's gun without even checking to see if it is loaded
  
• wave a loaded gun in somebody's face 'just to scare him'
  
• stick a gun in his waistband
  
• hold a gun sideways when shooting
  
• etc.

Mind you, I've not actually seen players have their PCs do these things, but I hear stories...
