That's just stupid.

He had to have been messing with it, had his hand on it, etc. in order for it to fire. Holsters don't have anything as a part of their construction typically that could wedge in and cause the gun to fire. Now if he was carrying it thug-style and just had it tucked in his waist band, well, that makes him a moron.

He shouldn't have even had his damn hand on it! What an idiot. This just pisses me off. To quote the instructor that taught my concealed carry class, "Don't put your hand on the gun unless you intend to KILL someone."

fucking idiot

wildchild · 05-25-2011, 11:15 AM

sounds like the idiot in the rest. was new to gun ownership and carrying in general. probably fidgeting with it to make sure he looked badass and yet no one could see it or whatever. either way he stuck his fingers where they didn't belong because guns don't just go off.

5 yo in class? how did he get it?? where from? (parent) those responsible should be charged heavily.
around here it seems as though when a kid gets a gun like that, it is from a parent who cannot legally own a gun. then the anti's get up in arms about gun ownership. no problem let's start a new gun control issue, anyone on probation gets regularly checked for firearms, if found they immediately return to prison and fulfill their whole sentence. no time off.

Surprised they didn't make a big deal about "he was carrying a SEMI-AUTOMATIC, WHOAH!!!!" .......You mean like 60-70% of all handguns in existance?

Why would someone carry a weapon with a round in the chamber? I hope he gets charged with discharging the round and they take his permit away

I carry with a round chambered, always. If for some reason I need to use my weapon, I want my gun to be ready to go when needed. If my weapon isn't ready to be used when needed, it's useless to me and I don't need to carry it.

I'd like to know more details. A gun doesn't magically go off for no reason. It wouldn't surprise me if he was fucking with it.
