I just picked up a new pistol that was shipped in to my FFL.
The counter guy opened the box and took it out for the very first time, and promptly pulled the trigger to see if it worked.
No chamber check at all.
Before I could say anything, it clicked while pointed at a woman at the end of the counter about 10 feet away.
I understand the improbability of it being loaded, but like all pistols, it came with the spent case meaning that it was fired one time and maybe, just maybe another moron left a round in the chamber because he was daydreaming about his girlfriend when his wife called on the phone.
I understand that all sorts of morons have to have a job doing something, but my God, not behind a gun counter.
