This is a Test - Lemmy.World

What’s actually the answer though? I would think A, D, C in that order is probably best, but I’m guessing they just want C?

The most lawyer friendly answer is probably C.

I am not a doctor, but I do know how to handle firearms, so I would also unload and ensure that the gun is not in a condition to fire. This would probably dock me points for diluting potential evidence or some such horseshit, but it’d still be the right thing to do. Provided you knew what you were doing.

Doing anything to the gun is probably a bad idea, even if you have experience with firearms. This gun came from a gang member, it could be in a very janky altered condition that makes it act unpredictably. If you were going to try to disarm it then you should still move it outside first before attempting that just in case it malfunction and fires while you’re trying to manipulate it
…And get it pointed at something that can catch a pistol round.
(Though tbf, while pointing a safe direction is always imperative, I’ve yet to see a gun fire from having the mag dropped or the slide racked, or the cylinder swung out, and I’m very experienced with firearms. Typically when a gun “just goes off” it was because they “just ‘accidentally’ touched the trigger.”)
