  1. Unless he was carrying a single action revolver I'm inclined to call bullshit on this one. Guns don't generally "go off" when you drop them. Most likely had an ND. Easy to confirm,

    2. Of course they do--people lie! Hence the need to investigate so that you can see if you can prove what happened.
