You leave the gun in the holster with a round chambered and don’t fiddle around with it until its time to put the gun away at home or shoot a terrorist with it.

You are definitely on to something. There is one piece of the puzzle that is missing, and no, it has nothing to do with showing it off, or fiddling with it. It has to do with a particular procedure. One, that oddly enough, was being followed.

O-K. I’ll take a guess that he was removing the padlock from the holster. The padlock hasp hits the trigger of the still holstered weapon and “bang”.

Do I win something if I’m right?
