    how the fuck does anyone have a magazine-fed gun and not know that removing the magazine doesn’t unload the chamber

    A child who finds a firearm in an unlocked safe that the parent thought was locked may not know. Or many other scenarios.

      Just, wow, some of the anecdotes in the article.
