It means if an external force is applied to the hammer the result could be a discharge. Pretty standard stuff.
My guess is that it was cocked and the asswipe just pointed it and let one fly.
You'll never hear Baldwin utter that noise but taking responsibility is not really the strong suit for celebrities.

Now the question is: If Baldwin didn't pull the trigger, where did the external force originate?
Knowing the way a liberal's mind works, I'm guessing the answer will be "a climate change " phenomenon.
If that strategy doesn't fly with anyone but AOC, maybe they can push the mean orange guy who tiptoed across the room (in stealth mode)and hit the hammer with Nancy's gavel that he stole during the Jan 6th insurrection.
