The "Gun" Went Off...With A Little Help From A Friend

Via The War on Guns...

Firefighter Accidentally Shoots Self At Station
Gun Went Off When Man Showed It To 2 Others

He was cleaning the handgun and showed it to two friends and "it" went off. The gun just decided to discharge of its own volition. Bad, bad gun! Bull. He was cleaning a loaded handgun. He forgot it was loaded and pulled the trigger. That’s not an accident. That’s carelessness. He failed thee times: the gun was loaded, he had his finger on the trigger, and it was pointed at something he didn’t want to shoot...himself. Can’t say I’ve never violated the rules. I have managed not to fire a weapon unintentionally. Hope he learned better. Sorry it was a painful lesson. At least he didn’t shoot anyone else.
