He did a inspection too of the firearm then discharged it.
Actually, his name is Lee Paige. He didn't inspect his firearm, and that's the problem. The pertinent questions:
  • Why did he bring a live firearm into the room if he was planning to manipulate it?
  • Why did he trust someone else to clear it, instead of doing so himself?
  • Why didn't he notice that the magazine was inserted, or that the gun was awfully heavy to have been "empty?"
  • Why did he pull the trigger?

Again, the only feasible answer is complacency. It can get us maimed, killed, or tied up in very expensive litigation.
