Yes, but I think that it is quite reasonable to claim that anyone who cannot handle a revolver safely cannot handle an autoloader safely. But that's not the main point, which is that there is no excuse for playing with a revolver when you don't know what you're doing, particularly when there is a qualified person (the owner) right there. But, really, how smart do you have to be to unload a revolver without firing it? All you have to do is not pull the trigger. Are the police now hiring the (mentally) handicapped?
