It’s always loaded.

Rule #2 of gun safety: Never point the weapon at anything you’re not prepared to kill.

Rule #3 of gun safety: Booze and guns do not mix.

Is there any of these extremely basic, extremely simple, extremely obvious rules of gun safety that Daddykins in this story managed to follow?

If the herd is lucky, that man just made himself eligible for an honorary Darwin award. Honorary because he’s still alive, but he’s no longer contributing his genes to the next generation of the human race. If the herd is unlucky, stupid son procreated before this incident.

Every firearm is loaded. I don’t care if the magazine is ejected, the cylinder is out, and you’re double-super-secret sure. It’s loaded, so never ever point it at something you’re not prepared to put a bullet through at high speed.

Hm, and I seem to recall various state laws recently about bringing firearms to bars, where people routinely get drunk. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, right – this.

Another one?

Dammit, America, when are we going to wise up and restrict gun ownership?

Sooo ashamed of my country.

I live in the Netherlands which has no gun culture, and even I could’ve told them pointing a gun at someone is a bad idea.
