Dumb thing to do, but I doubt this was a “smart gun” (it looks like a tommy gun, I don’t think they are retrofitting ancient guns like this with “smart” technology). I also highly doubt the weapon was loaded. They are in a gun shop, not at a range. There would be no reason for it to be loaded. It sounds like the hammer on the weapon does fall as well. So, yes, it was a violation of basic rules of gun safety, but it was not a case of “pointing a loaded weapon and pulling the trigger”.

It's still a case of "Pointing a weapon and pulling the trigger", though, that could be construed as a Freudian slip at the least. Speculation about weather it's loaded or not is meaningless, and anyone who would do such a thing cannot be trusted, especially in matters pertaining to personal safety.

I myself have ended a relationship with a certain relative, for life, over something not much different.
