   Technically, that could occur, if you’re a total klutz. Your thumb would have to slip off the hammer pulling it back. I’d hate to go into court with that defense though. Manslaughter at the least.

   Not familiar with that particular model’s action, but it is possible. Single action means you have to pull the hammer back to cock the gun, then pull the trigger. For a double action, you pull the trigger and it cocks the hammer and releases it in one pull. My revolvers have both double and single action. If I pull the hammer utilizing the single action back with my thumb and the gun is loaded, I have to be especially careful putting the hammer back in if I decide not to shoot. I typically put my left pinky between the hammer and the frame as I gently pull the trigger while I guide the released hammer with my thumb to put it back into position. If at any point in that process I let the hammer slip from my thumb with nothing between it and the firing pin, the gun will fire.

   One point here is Baldwin’s lack of training or knowledge of handling a gun in a safe manner. He should never have aimed the gun at an individual and especially when not checking first to see if someone stuck a round in there when he wasn’t looking. It always comes down to personal responsibility and developing safety habits. My habit is to always check to see if a gun’s been loaded, even if I know it’s been sitting in its special place of accessibility, unloaded, before I do anything with it. When training, I leave the cylinder open, even knowing its empty if I take a break in target practice for the comfort of others at the range.

     Correct, your protocols are all sound. So if one doesn’t know of. any of these protocols and ends up firing and killing someone it doesn’t release them from liability/responsibility from their ignorant and reckless behavior.
