Its actually a very common problem. Gun nuts all think they are John McClane and need to keep one in the chamber at all times. They remove the magazine but never properly run the action and yeah. Its especially a problem with glocks because disassembly actually involves squeezing the trigger.
Responsible gun owners are only slightly more common than good guys with a gun.
Agreed. There are a lot of people and a lot of guns in the world, so I won’t say that it’s never happened. The vast majority of those cases, though, are suicides or failed suicides where they’re trying to save face and/or make sure the life insurance still pays out.
Life insurance does pay in the event of suicide! Depends on the length of time between taking the policy and, uh, execution. Terms and conditions may apply!
He was cleaning his (loaded) gun… Sure…
stuff like this makes a real strong case for taking guns away from everybody

I’ve met some people who really should not have guns…
Most people I’ve met really should not have guns. And don’t, as far as I know.
Even in America, the vast majority of people don’t own a gun. Something like 70%.
Still, only the US has an annual toddler/dog gun killing rate (as in the toddler/dog shooting somebody else).
Also 44% of Americans live in a household where a gun is present.
Those cases are failed suicide attempts or they were otherwise doing something they know damned well was stupid.
Any given weapon is stupid easy to clear, in 3-4 seconds, and be certain it’s clear. Not like bullets are hiding in there somehow.
