Isn't this pretty basic stuff as what NOT to do in 2A-land?
Responsible, my ass.
Police said they learned that Andrews and a friend/coworker were discussing and looking at firearms while standing in the parking lot beside Andrews's vehicle. At one point during the conversation, the friend unloaded his gun and handed it to Andrews, who then began to dry fire the weapon while still talking with his friend, according to investigators.
Andrews then returned the firearm to the friend, who reloaded the gun as Andrews went to get a second firearm from his vehicle, police said. As Andrews handed the second gun to his friend, Andrews took the now loaded firearm and placed it on the front passenger seat of his vehicle, said police.
While Andrews and his friend talked about the second firearm, two additional coworkers/friends joined in the conversation, police said. That was when Andrews reached into his vehicle and took out the loaded firearm that he placed on his passenger seat, said investigators. Andrews then cocked the gun and placed it to his head. The weapon was discharged, causing a significant head wound to Andrews, according to police.
Investigators said they talked with the witnesses and reviewed a surveillance video. Based on the evidence, police determined that Andrews was either unaware that the firearm had been reloaded, or he was distracted by the conversation with his friends, causing him to forget the firearm had been reloaded.

OP
The most offensive part of the article? "between he and his friends..." HIM (or HIMSELF).

There sure has been a rash of accidental shootings - are they sure that guns don't kill people

Have guns achieved sentient status and decided humanity must be eliminated to save the planet?

I was trying to figure that out. Asking myself who they would file charges against.

If he pulled out a power tool in the parking lot and started demonstrating its destructiveness...

I have decided all these incidents fall into two categories. Dumbasses and Assholes.
