Iowa man shoots off finger while cleaning gun

Steven Johnson says he inserted a magazine into the gun Sunday night and racked the slide. The 22-year-old says he did not realize the gun was loaded when he pulled the trigger to make sure it worked.
If you insert a loaded magazine into your pistol and rack the slide, what else would it be but loaded. Oh? you didn't realize the magazine was loaded? You're lucky the only thing you shot was your finger tip.

Even if he didn't know it was loaded he should have figured it out when it didn't lock back.

I'm pretty cynical, so I assume everybody who's shot "cleaning his gun" was actually doing something stupid and is trying to make it sound not so stupid.
