Turns out these criminals are not known for their intelligence. I suppose they are used to having a gun as an intimidation device so they don't even care if it is loaded.

WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA - A trio of idiots tried to rob a man selling a rifle on Craigslist. One problem, they never checked to see if the weapon was loaded.
The trio of Edvis Miquem Galloway, 24, Savon Khalif Hardaway, 18, and Kalmeaice Kawanna Williams, 38 arranged to meet a man selling his AR-15 style rifle on Craigslist. As the owner gave the AR to the would-be robbers, one of the men turned the gun around and took aim at the owner.
The owner quickly drew his handgun and told the man to drop the gun because the it wasn't loaded.
He then ordered the trio to the ground and fled the scene while calling 911.
