NCO explains:

“A half-loaded pistol will not fire”

"Krone" editor and non-commissioned officer in the Carinthian military command, Alexander Schwab, explains how to handle weapons according to regulations - and why a shot can't just go off.

The long-time member of "Krone" enlisted in Klagenfurt in 2006. After his one-year volunteer training, Alexander Schwab spent a year abroad as a UN soldier in Syria - and has been in the militia since 2008. He is currently serving as a media sergeant in the Carinthia Military Command. The experienced soldier and editor therefore knows what he is talking about.
