a revolver has to be manually cocked or if a double action, a long progressive pull of the trigger is necessary before it fires.
check the figures on accidental discharge, autos lead by a mile.
Most handguns have a 5 or 6 # trigger pull weight. Unless the gun is modified for a lighter trigger pull. But a good carry gun should not have a hair pull trigger. Now the gun should have been holstered while in the school and the guy should hot have got the gun out of the holster to play or show it off. That tells me he was not well trained.
