Barney's gun

Well, now, when it comes to Barney's handgun, commonly called a pistol, he never loaded it unless Andy told him to or it was an emergency, so how could it misfire pulling it out of his holster if the bullet was in his shirt pocket? Just wondering! Welford theCameraNu.

Can't remember which episode but Barney shot the tire of the squad car.Andy did let Trey hold his gun but unloaded it and explained to always treat a gun as if it were loaded. Asa let Andy handle his gun when he was a boy, slipped through his belt and tore his knickers.Randy in Indiana
