I had to unload a loaded pistol that we found in one of our boxes of potatoes.
Apparently we had to get potatoes from our sister store across town and the GM there had a ccw that he normally kept in his car. But this particular day his car was getting detailed so he brought it into the store and put it in a random box.
I love that on top of all of that, of course it's loaded.
It wasn't just loaded. It had a round in the chamber and the hammer was cocked. The only think keeping it from firing was the safety.
I don't know much about guns or what gun it is but isn't not pulling the trigger stopping the hammer comming down?
The safety assumedly stops you pulling the trigger or disengages the mechanism.
Yes the trigger is the last stop, and the safety stops the trigger from being pulled, but that's an absurdly unsafe state for leaving a gun unattended.
At the very very least that gun should not be cocked and the chamber shouldn't be loaded, but he's also leaving his gun in a random box so that's already terrible
