Okay.He had come in the house and felt it comforting to remove the weapon from his body.
Why?At which point he wanted to clear the chamber by racking slide and squeezing the trigger while pointing the gun in the safe direction.
Unless he intended to field strip, or detail strip, the weapon, I cannot see any good reason to clear the chamber.
A stupid mistake.He was, however, negligent in removing the magazine before racking the slide.
But again, why did he feel the need to empty the chamber?
I come home from being out and about, I remove my pistol from its holster and place it on my night stand, and I don't touch it for the rest of the night.
The next morning I dress and then holster my pistol and then go about my day.
Never do I have the need to empty the chamber.
