Reminds me of a story I saw on TV about a family who had a home invasion. A group of well armed men took over the house and forced the family(kids and all) to sit in the living room. The invaders had some sort of plans for the family that required the families cooperation. But they tested the family's compliance first, by loading an Uzi, setting it on safe, and leaving the gun in the living room with the family while the invaders went in another room.

The invaders believed that the family wouldn't know how to operate the safety on the Uzi. So the invaders didn't think they would get shot if the family went for the gun. If the family left the Uzi alone, they knew the family would be cooperative.

The family didn't touch the Uzi, and the home invaders moved ahead with their plan. Fortuantely the family made it through okay.

I've shot an Uzi before, it would have turned out quite different if they'd left a loaded Uzi in front of me.
