  1. Round chambered
  2. safety disabled
  3. Gun not secured

A lot of things have to go wrong. Yes, it’s illegal to drive with a loaded firearm, but this is basic firearm safety.

The person hit was a passerby.

    basic firearm safety.

    which no one enforces or even checks.

    Well that’s the thing I’m trying to say. It shouldn't need to be enforced or checked (but yes, i support legislation) any more than putting pants on before going outside. But clearly, it’s fairly common behaviour to ignore basic rules.

    You get fined and put on a list if you go donaldducking around.

    Saying that is a bit like expecting politicians won't be corrupt bcs of some decency & not because of consequences.

    We pay taxes to get such things sorted out for us, so we don't have to assemble French street furniture every few years.

    (But I'm not exactly saying I know how to police dog gun safety habits.)

    You can have a firearm loaded if you have a carry permit most places.
