I think originally it was for military officers. All kinds of ways to lose a pistol in a muddy shell hole in ways you'll never find it again. Or, kek, imagine a cavalry trooper asking if he can go back for his gun after a charge.
i dont get why there was a round in the chamber. it looks like she was loading up a clip which would imply starting duty in which case the damn thing should have been locked open and chamber clear?
I thought maybe she was checking it back into the armory. Some police services require every bullet issued to be counted back in to prove there weren't any undisclosed discharges.
I guess no one counted on them being negligent enough to cause an accidental discharge in the process.
Every gun is loaded at all times. She should have had that mantra ground int to her thick fucking skull. If you always assume it's loaded, you don't squeeze the trigger (or put your finger on it) unless you are aiming and ready to release a round.
At many police stations, when entering certain areas, officers are required to unload their weapons and dry fire them into a bin filled with sand or other impact absorbing material. That scene is not what I would expect for a return to the armory. But then again, they trust they officers so much they have a keeper cord to make sure they don't lose them. What a fucking joke.
I don't think I mentioned a clip, it looks like there's two magaines on the counter and she seems to be doing something with them on some device with a keypad. Could be a barcode scanner of some kind like for stock control, or a weighing scales for checking there aren't any rounds missing.

Yes, she fucked up. I'm not a gun guy and even I know those rules: Always assume it's loaded, don't point it at things you're not supposed to shoot, don't take it out of safety or put your finger on the trigger unless you're prepared to fire.

I have zero experience of gun storage or whatever good practice would apply here.

The lanyard thing is more about practicality than a question of trust. It used to be common for military sidearms in the early 1900s, still is for some ceremonial uniforms. The general idea is that if you're running around the place jumping on and off horses or doing other military things your sidearm might fall out of it's holster. The lanyard makes it easier to recover.
I assume modern holsters render that irrelevant, but traditions die hard and they could be using outdated equipment if it's not used much.
You got a cut and paste error. I had posted the whole comment to the parent comment, then decided the bottom para was for you and meant to grab just it. Whoops.

You know those times women will walk onto the subway tracks of an oncoming train and then giggle teehee mOmMy BrAin!!! or, even worse, they will be in front of everyone trying to get in the train and just stop in the doorway and block it. Everyone's been in the car with a woman when they've done something like 'accidentally' drive into the wrong lane, miss a turn or run a red because they weren't paying attention.
Until they're mothers. This has been researched in rats and other mammals. Mothers get a boost in situational awareness and intelligence, presumably to protect their young.
They also get a much larger dose of mommy syndrome where they're the boss, and don't have to get out of the way of anyone at home. It's not so much that they all don't notice, some are just cunts too.

The mental capacity of a child and carrying a gun. The way she just turns her back towards the "danger" and then just walks away while the "danger" follows her is comedic brilliance, imagine if it had fired a few more times while being dragged after her.
It's a safety precaution, usually so the enemy can't steal your weapon, but for women it's usually so they don't just leave it behind like she was doing here.

It used to be common practice for sidearms to be kept on a lanyard in the early 1900s. Some areas must have kept it up.

A lot of chink nations do it too, in China and Japan I think the cops (that are permitted to be armed) carry revolvers on lanyards.
