Sorry, boys, but it’s definately “pilot error” (brain fart) here. There shouldn’t have been a round chambered in the first place. If there’s a round chambered, nothing goes inside the trigger guard but your trigger finger.

It's the TSA rules.

Figured it was an auto.

Semi-autos require an added level of thought and caution when handling.

People forget that a round was chambered. Especially, if it was chambered a couple of days before, at the range, etc.

Betting that accidents like this one happen a lot — remembering the video of police officer showing his gun to a grade school class when it discharged.

Excellent point. I wonder if there’s a policy on that, and if he was following it. They wouldn’t urge pilots to keep one in the chamber would they?
