It's either unsafe or it's operable.

Also, bangers use 22's because despite popular beliefs, they're effective and quieter.

All guns are unsafe until you have checked and cleared them. Im guessing the lady who didnt know what the hell she had didnt know how to release the magazine or check the chamber.

An operable firearm is inherently unsafe, they fling lead at high speeds, that's kinda the whole point
