no, gun only fired one shot. could be anything from a single-shot derringer to a DA/SA to a DA-only revolver. Personally, my bet is a normal DA/SA with one in the chamber. My bet is something with a hammer already back and a light trigger pull, so the MRI didn’t have to move much.
personally I carry with one in the chamber and the safety on. Racking the slide is slow and requires two hands, which you may not have available if you are (for instance) trying to push someone off you. If concealed carry is defensive, it implies you’re responding to other peoples’ actions. You can (and should) try to be aware of when things are going down, but definitionally they’ve got the drop on you. So you can’t pause to load your blunderbuss; if you’re slow you might as well not carry at all and save everyone the danger.
