I think dry firing a gun in an apartment is not something somebody should do.
Part of my reasoning is that I had a .45 pistol go off one day inside my Suburban driving down a street in Galveston, Texas.
A couple facts are: 1. to this day we have no idea what happened 2. no one was hurt
We can only speculate that it was a bad primer maybe or some jolt occurred triggering the firing pin. Whatever, just sitting in its normal spot between my driver seat and the console it went off with no one having touched it. Thankfully, it was pointed downward.
For 25 years since, I NEVER keep a round in the chamber unless I am actually about to shoot it.
What does that mean? That's up there with police say an SUV struck and killed a man.

A similar thing happened to a friend who once had an early morning outdoors radio show in Houston. The only difference is that he blew his starter off the car engine.
