MO: Teenage slumber party ends in disaster

[seamusTX]

I haven't seen too many double action revolvers that take little effort to pull the trigger.... I have always thought that most double action guns require a deliberate pull of the trigger in order to fire the weapon, and that pull required some effort.

It seems the revolvers (or double-action handguns in general) that are designed as carry pieces have stiffer trigger pulls. Those that are designed for target shooting, such as Dan Wesson revolvers, require much less effort in double-action mode.

Then there are "race guns" and other cases where the owner adjusted the trigger.

I'd guess:
Guest in house knew there was a "gun" and where it was kept (maybe on piano, maybe not).
Guest brought "gun" out to show off.
Other girl said "you shouldn't have that out here."
Guest pulls trigger, saying, "it won't go off, see."

As far as teaching kids about firearms, movies have far more reach than aware parents. Very few movies (including a Marx Bros. movie!) show indexed fingers not continually on the trigger, so it becomes a "no-brainer" to keep the finger on the trigger.

that's my favorite scene in "Pulp Fiction"
