Last weekend was the 411 yard sale weekend. My family and I looked at a few yard sales and at one was a SKS for sale with some aftermarket stocks etc on it. It had a 30 rd detachable magazine and I picked it up to handle it. The thought went through my head to not check the action as I figured it being for sale and being handled by prospective customers that it would be unloaded.

Imagine my surprise when I pulled the bolt back to see brass gleaming in the chamber. I took the magazine out and it was loaded with Hollow points and proceeded to empty the chamber. I told the man at the table that his weapon had been loiaded and he replied "The magazine was loaded but not the chamber" I replied "It was loaded and here is your magazine and bullet that was in the chamber." What IDIOT leaves a loaded gun on a table for people to handle. The moron was even standing in front of the muzzle of the gun. Any child could have reached the trigger and caused a serious incident.

"The mag was loaded, but there wasn't one in the chamber."

Ok....who in their right mind would even put a loaded mag in a gun for random people to look at? All it takes is one kid that thinks he knows everything about guns to pick it up and chamber a round unknowingly when he is pretending to be rambo. It is dumb luck someone hadn't pulled the trigger yet.

I think it should be come a rule that when someone picks up what is suppose to be an unloaded gun like that and finds one in the chamber it (and Mag) the ammo becomes the finders. Kind of a finders fee for a safety check. This happens far to often.

Serious if someoen hands me a gun and tell me it is unloaded and I find a ammo I am going to joke and say I should get to keep this since it wasn't in it right?
