Glad I read this thread.
When I saw the title, I originally interpreted 'loaded' to mean your new gun was all tricked out with the latest sites, lock and super smooth whiz-bang trigger.
You actually meant LOADED - as in ready to fire. :redface:
I'm learnin'. Will be sure and have my new or new/used gun checked out by an experienced guy and this will be the first thing I/we check. I would not have even guessed that popping a cap to clear it could lead to a catastrophe. Now I know how to check it properly.
