Holy Mother of God. I hope that’s not true. That people think that. But then again, “the gun just went off” mantra is wide spread, so kind of goes along the same lines.
Yeah, some people really think that. My Wife is a lawyer (tax law) and back in 2009 when she was a just a paralegal got in on a case that involved going into a medium sized corporation and seizing all files and computers for examination. She was following two "highly educated" ivy league lawyers around and stuffing files in folders and labeling them. They opened a drawer in the CEOs office and there was a little Beretta .380 in a holster. The lawyers froze dead in horror as she instinctively grabbed it, dropped the mag, ejected the chambered round and proceeded to empty the magazine into another drawer... The first thing that came out of the female lawyers mouth was "OMG, that could have been fully automatic and just started shooting everywhere. How did you know how to do that?" sigh also facepalm
