I can't think of a single reason why this would have been a good idea, and considering the outcome, it certainly wasn't:
The Detroit News: Cops: Man shoots self, woman while unloading handgun
A man and a woman more than 30 years his junior are recovering after both were wounded when the man attempted to unload a handgun on Detroit's west side early Monday morning, police saidThe shooting took place about 1:30 a.m. in the area of West McNichols and Telegraph, said Dontae Freeman, social media manager for the Detroit Police Department.
The man, 56, and the woman, 25, were sitting in a Chevy Malibu when the man attempted to unload the gun, Freeman said. In so doing, he shot himself in his left hand, and shot the woman in her right arm.
Who the heck at 1:30 am, while parked and seated in the confines of a vehicle thinks to themselves -
"Hey, this is a great time to handle and unload a firearm".
Apparently it's no longer nobody, ever, as this doofus apparently did so.
I suspect either alcohol or showing off how cool he was had something to do with it.
Seated in a car at oh-my-gosh-early in the morning is neither the time nor the place to be handling a firearm without a darn good reason.
I can't think of any valid reason to be fumbling around and trying to unload a firearm while inside the confines of a Chevy Malibu. It really doesn't lead to a good outcome, especially while ignoring basic safety rules such as "Never point a gun at something you're not willing to destroy" and or course the classic "Keep your darn finger off the trigger until ready to shoot, yes, that includes you sitting in the Chevy Malibu".
They really need to teach basic gun safety in schools, along with some common sense.

Hey Aaron;
He was trying to impress the "sweet young thang". Seriously though, the violation of the 3 rules are rampant in this one....it would be the poster child of disregard matter of fact.
That (training) would make too much sense... Sigh
