Mans gun goes off in Public Restroom

[Bluemoto66]

Someone mentioned this is another topic and I thought that it was interesting. I wonder if he will get charged?

Another one of those guns that just do off. :roll eyes:

With what would he be charged?

 

[Sapper740]

Sure, guns go off all the time, heck, my gun safe is full of holes from my guns going off. Very little information in the news report but if I was LEO I'd be leary of the gun just going off, I'd check for a bullet hole through clothing, if none found, I'd ask the man if he was handling the firearm.

I do not advocate playing with anything while sitting in a public restroom, but if you absolutely have to play with something, pick something other than the trigger on your gun.

Maybe the NDer should ask Larry Craig for advice on alternative ideas on what to do while bored in a public toilet.

Another hang the Gun on the coat hook by the trigger guard?

The news report indicated he was a CHL holder.

Should the guy be ridiculed on these interwebs? Yes. But this stuff makes ALL of us look bad. It really upsets me.

Every time I hear that it gives me visions of someone doing that, basically accidentally bumping the gun, it going off, and the gun proceeding to bump/auto fire in a 360 degree circle spinning on the coat hanger. LOL

42.01 (a) (8) is display of a firearm, but 7 is discharge. The mental state required is imtentional or knowing, so an accidental would not fly. However, I hadn't considered the city code violation. I am not sure the culpability required for those.

Moral of the story is never take a dump in a public restroom while carrying.

The first question is what is a man do in a freaking mall anyways?
Malls are for women, girls and teen boys with stupid looking hair and skinny jeans.

his IWB holster hit the floor when that china cheap jeweled belt fell off of his britches while he was busy returning a really important text message if I'm guessing right.

The only excuse a real man has for even being near a mall is to run into a sears to buy some tools and that's it.
