I was at the range with my step father last weekend. I'm not a kid (51 years old and step father is 73). I loaded 6 rounds of .38 special into my Ruger SS GP100 .357 mag 3". I fired the first round single action. I paused and fired the second round single action. The first round gave the normal recoil and noise. The second round gave almost no recoil and sounded like a cap gun. Having no idea what had just happened, I held the gun down range for 30 seconds before checking. I opened the cylinder and removed the cartridges. Two had expelled the bullet. I turned the gun to the side and my heart sunk. If I had pulled the trigger on the third round, I might still be in the hospital.
Always be safe with your firearms. If you allow your older kids to fire your firearms, be there to stop them if something like this happens while they are shooting.
