Why did he have one chambered? Why was he playing around with it?

Good questions. I would think a mandatory remedial safety course would be in order.

No Doubt. One NEVER should chamber a round unless you are in front of a target getting ready to fire, or you hear someone in your home and you know you can't rely on the cops to get to you in time and you want to save the tax payers some money by sending the perp to his eternal rest.

If you don't carry your weapon with a round in the chamber, it will be of no use to you when you really need it. This is a bunch of baloney about a slide malfunction. He was playing with it and it went off IMHO.

"Why was he playing around with it?"
The article doesn't say he was playing with it. That is a possible assumption among many.
