  - what is that safety? sounds like a lack of one...otoh, what's he doing with a slug in the chamber? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 10, 17:59 1
    - A trigger safety. Those are the ones you pull with your same finger while firing. -- nm - Spawn Jul 10, 18:05
They can't prove it didn't happen because his dog ate the evidence. -- nm - Bacon Jul 10, 17:45
