Wow. It went off not once, but twice!!! Evidently, it went off the first time as a customer was handling it, and again when its owner was inspecting it to figure out why it went off. The last two times I attended a gun show, all firearms had to be unloaded and the hammers secured with yellow plastic ties. Add to that the first thing my father taught me 39 years ago was how to unload a variety of firearms without risking accidental discharge. Since then, every times I've ever handled someone else's firearm, I go through the motions of unloading it, whether I've just witnessed them unloading it or not. The only exception is when I'm at a firing range and the purpose of their handing it to me is so that I might fire it.
