    Doing anything to the gun is probably a bad idea, even if you have experience with firearms. This gun came from a gang member, it could be in a very janky altered condition that makes it act unpredictably. If you’re going to try to disarm it anyway then you should still move it outside first before attempting that just in case it malfunctions and fires while you’re trying to manipulate it

        (Though tbf, while pointing a safe direction is always imperative, I’ve yet to see a gun fire from having the mag dropped or the slide racked, or the cylinder swung out, and I’m very experienced with firearms. Typically when a gun “just goes off” it was because they “just ‘accidentally’ touched the trigger.”)
