I can understand this...I was a member of the USAFR back in the 90's, when the USAFR moved from S&W revolvers to M9 autos...The civilian DOD Police force also switched at the same time...They carried locked & loaded, but at some point someone forgot about the one in the chamber...While preparing to clean, a gateguard removed the mag and pulled the trigger...and made a hole in the parquet floor...
