But they DID look twice! 1st the employee who "cleared" the gun and didn't see the bullet making the bolt hard to close and then the customer whom he just handed the 1/2 loaded gun to who went right on forcing the bolt down on a live round and THEN pulling the trigger for good measure!
You can't see where you don't look.
Just working the action/bolt is NOT looking.
I would submit that neither one looked. That and the gun owner should have assured that the gun was unloaded before he left the house.
And I agree completely. The fact is they BOTH should have looked, not only then but the owner should have cleared his own gun before leaving his home or at least his vehicle! That the employee didn't notice it should be grounds for dismissal as his job was to insure that the weapon was unloaded and "made safe." On top of that, when the bolt failed to easily close, the intelligent thing to do would have been to LOOK at the danged thing and see why it was hard, not to just blindly force it home. It was a joint effort at stupidity in my view.You can't see where you don't look.

I don't know the layout of this Bass Pro Shop. The one here in Pearl, MS, the gun shop is on the second floor. That means that the floor is also the ceiling for the first floor. This could have been much worse.
