Lots of fail.. can't believe thats how anyone would check 'if a firearm is real'.

A mother and son were inside of a dressing room in the Adidas store at Lenox Square Wednesday when the 8-year-old found what he thought was a toy gun under a bench.

That's when police said the mom pulled the trigger to "determine if the gun was real," according to an Atlanta Police Report.
Hinsdale said people should assume guns they see are loaded, and advises strongly against pulling the trigger to verify if they're real.

I really believe that this scenario is one reason why firearms education should also be mandated in schools.
