How should one safely drain oil from gas charged shock absorbers on 2006 GMC Sierra 3500?

Gas charged shock absorbers contain high pressure gas, so do not remove the snap ring to avoid personal injury from the contents being expelled. Always wear safety glasses when centerpunching and drilling the shock absorber. Drill holes to allow gas or gas/oil mixture to exhaust, containing escaping oil with shop towels. Finally, drain the oil completely.
