If they were here, the police with the forensic technology could easily find out the so called accident. Some how it is hard to beleive that some one would be cleaning the weapon loaded. They could fool others but I am not buying it because it is the first lesson in handling weapons to make sure that it is not loaded while cleaning etc. or never point at any one loaded weapon.
