I guess the grandfather needed a weapon in case someone broke into his house.
Bet he wished he had never bought it after this.

I guess people just leave loaded weapons lying around the house.

It's even more stupid than you say. The pistol was left lying around loaded and cocked, so that only low trigger pressure was necessary to fire it. This is ridiculously unsafe, an accidental discharge waiting to happen even if only adults handle the gun.

A three-year-old wouldn't be able to fire a revolver double-action, or rack an automatic. The gun had to be already cocked.
