I met a guy at the range last week, whose son in law showed me PPK that he just got from a relative. He asked if I knew how to remove the magazine, so I showed him how and did it. The magazine was loaded! I told the kid to check the chamber to make sure it wasn't loaded. It was! These guys were bouncing around with the loaded pistol in a rucksack with one in the chamber...and they did not know it.

Shame on me, too. I should have asked if the pistol was loaded be Moore I touched---although looking back, I doubt the answer would have been reliable. Certainly wouldn't have bet my life on it.

Moral of the story for me is to treat any firearm as if it was loaded. It isnt safe until I personally remove the magazine and inspect the chamber with my own eyes.
