This is truly a sad story but it is clear that the father was negligent in this case. Page #1 in the manual for the 92fs states that “The only certain way to insure that a firearm has the chamber empty is to open the chamber and visually and physically examine the inside to see if a round is present. REMOVING OR UNLOADING THE MAGAZINE WILL NOT GUARANTEE THAT A FIREARM IS UNLOADED OR CANNOT FIRE. I realize that the teen didn’t have access to the literature and I place the blame at the owners feet. Every night I load the 16th round into the chamber and the first thing I do when I wake is to clear the chamber.
Into whom? I wake up that way sometimes, too ;)
You may already be aware, but be watchful for bullet setback .
