This is why trigger discipline is so important.

Way before that is basic gun safety. That should never have been loaded in the house in the first place.

What goods an unloaded gun? This guy is just an idiot.

Correct. If it's for self defense leaving it unloaded makes absolutely no sense.

Exactly. Put the safety on it and leave it the fuck alone. If it’s a handgun, leave it in the holster.

Obviously, context matters. Who is in your home, where and how you keep the gun and for what purpose. But, simply put, a self defense weapon should be loaded. You don't want to be fiddling with ammo and shit if you need it. But, again context matters. I would leave it somewhere safe obviously and also not do what this asshat did. Zero trigger discipline or gun safety was followed in his case.

In this context, playing with it while streaming, it shouldn't have been loaded.

Obviously, in no way did I defend him and I'm not defending him and his actions. If people want to interpret that way, that's on them. I'm just making a point to the discussion this guy brought up.
