They saw a rifle in the back seat of Venable's car and Snow attempted to take it apart, Miller said. That's when the gun went off, he said.

Why the hell was this boob trying to take apart a rifle he obviously knew nothing about?
And naturally, it was the citizen who was cited.
Here's a question for all of you who aren't "Only Ones": What's the first rule of field-stripping a firearm?
That's right--point it at someone with your finger on the trigger!
And what's the first rule for when you're not certain of how an unfamiliar firearm operates?
Bingo! Pick it up and start dicking around with it.
