The 15 year old's father had left the loaded gun in a camera case in his bedroom. The plaintiffs are claiming that the loaded chamber indicator on the Beretta was inadequate since the boy didn't notice that it was indicating a loaded chamber. Of course, he didn't check it himself, and then he point the firearm at his friend, and pulls the trigger. That is apparently Beretta's fault.

Actually, the moron's behavior was dumber than that. He removed a loaded magazine, inserted an unloaded magazine (don't know if it was the same one or not), then shot himself. So (1) the guy knew the gun was loaded when he picked it up, and (2) a "magazine-disconnect" safety couldn't have done any good, since the firearm had a magazine in it when it was fired.
