Maybe the United agent should be more careful about where they are pointing a firearm. The first rule of firearms safety is ‘don’t point it at anything you don’t intend on destroying’. The owner should bear some responsibility as well. They should know how to make the rifle safe and how to unload it properly. So is it routine procedure to dry fire the rifle when checking it? If the owner would have removed the bolt, all the problems would have been solved.
I own an A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in. 300 Win Mag. I can see how this could happen.
Certainly doesn’t excuse it, though.
lol....
Iddddiottttt government “SAFETY Agent” our TAX DOLLARS PAY for.
Wonder how he inspects a suitcase suspected of having a “suspicious device” in it.
Oh I know, we pay for him.... so given this little aberration I am sure he would stand over said suitcase and shoot at it with a shotgun... in the middle of the public assembly area.
IIIIDDDIOOOOOT
But then again.. we allow this by allowing those that rule us to do as they like without repercussions.

This guy sounds like a doofus. Except for your home defense gun, who keeps a loaded magazine in their rifle anyway?
