If they’ve only ever unloaded a full magazine or shot with a magazine with a single shot in it, they wouldn’t know since the gun will be empty after they are done firing and drop the magazine.
Proper supervision and training is the way to prevent negligent discharges.
I have a hard time believing the Marine’s example. I’ve been in the military, and I was trained to ALWAYS do an eject when pulling out a magazine. It becomes a reflex. Also, it’s drilled into your brain that a gun, unless extracted, is by default loaded. Basic gun training.
If someone doesn’t know removing the magazine doesnt un chamber a round then guns should be locked away from them.
