==============

Older single actions, with out a transfer bar safety, can go off without 
cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger, IF the hammer is down, 
resting on a live round, and IF the gun is dropped, or something strikes 
the hammer. That’s why such guns are carried with the hammer down on an 
empty chamber. I have seen no reporting that the gun was dropped, or that 
something hit the hammer when it was down.

=============
In the 80s I had a room mate who was really into guns.

He was a journeyman machinist and fancied himself to be a gunsmith. He 
was not. He owned a Smith & Wesson .357 magnum. He did some work on the 
trigger mechanism to make it a lighter trigger pull. One time he had the 
gun cocked and laid it on the table for a second because he needed two 
hands to do something else. So we have a loaded gun cocked and sitting 
there with no one near it. It went off. All by itself, no one was near 
it, no one pulled the trigger It can happen.

The gun Baldwin was handling needs to be examined for modified or worn 
parts. I have read that it was a genuine antique from the period being 
depicted. The circumstances I described above show that a cocked gun can 
discharge with no one pulling the trigger.

=================

My family had a getaway in s.e. Ohio. My Dad and Mom brought my younger 
brother and me for a weekend. My Dad had guns and liked to target shoot 
and also was teaching us kids how to handle guns. He had put his .22 
rifles on a rack on the wall. I think there was a stuffed chair under it. 
The guns faced an inner wall, and on the other side was the kitchen. We 
were packing to go home. I remember seeing Dad reach across the chair to 
take one of the rifles off the rack, and having one hand one the barrel 
in front of the trigger and guard and his other hand on the stock behind 
the trigger. But it went off. It put a hole in the inner wall, and when 
we checked the kitchen, there was a bullet hole through the window over 
the sink. My Mom, brother and I were in the room with my Dad and saw this 
happen. I remember seeing the shocked look on my Dad's face. What was 
really scary was that my Mom had been standing by the sink just a few 
minutes before. My Dad always said "Guns are always loaded." And even 
with gun safety being important, the gun was racked with a live round and 
went off as it was handled.
