    or................or................or............ ...don't point a firearm at your hand and press the trigger, amirite?

    The clerk was also clearly in the wrong for not locking & clearing the weapon before handing it to the officer.

    Thats what I kept thinking all the time he was pointing it at most of the people in the store.

    Numerous and massive fail.

    Even having checked a gun, it shouldnt be pointed at things one doesnt want to shoot. It seems dreadfully common at gun shops and gun shows, and in casual social situations.

    He broke every single one of the four rules.

    My only takeaway-how in tarnations did the officer not notice the live round in the chamber while he was literally coonfingering the gun?

    My guess it was in the mag, not the chamber, so it was harder to notice. He racked the slide at 42s, which then chambered the round.

    Yup, there was a lot that had to go wrong for that to happen. Thanks for the vivid 4 rule reminder check-in.
