Metzroth - Possession of a FOID card does not prevent some idiot from pulling a trigger when they shouldn't.
And as far as the dealer being responsible for providing a safe firearm for the customers to handle and inspect, in this case it WAS safe, even if there was a round in the chamber. The gun didn't go off on it's own. It was made to go off by some idiot who didn't pay attention to the four rules, and who ended up hurting three people badly as a result.
There is NO reason for that mysterious idiot to have pulled that trigger without knowing the status of that gun. If he wanted to test the trigger pull, then he should have first ASKED the vendor whether or not it was OK to do so, and then CHECKED THE CHAMBER himself to verify it was unloaded. That's just common sense, not to mention good manners.
