Another reason to avoid Wal-Mart

[seporith]

No help to the rest of us. Just Duh.................... A Texas man injured two people and himself after he accidentally fired his handgun Monday night while standing on line at a Walmart store, police said.
MyFoxDFW.com reported that the suspect, who was not identified, accidentally fired his gun while he reached into his wallet at the Dallas-area store. The bullet hit the man in the buttock and shattered on the ground. Fragments hit a child in the leg and a woman in the foot, the report said. The suspect, who has a <span style="color: #FF0000">concealed handgun license</span>, apparently panicked and took off running, but was soon caught by police.
He faces evasion charges and injury to a child.

What an idiot!!!

Not really for the AD... but for taking off! Must've been under the influence, or had outstanding warrants or some shit!

Legal people don't usually run.

So he managed to shoot himself in the ass, hit a kid, a woman, and also got arrested for running (with a bullet wound in the butt).

Bet he didn't wake up expecting the day to end like that!

Looks like we didn't add enough chlorine to the gene pool.

Yet again another example of why I say DA/SA guns carried hammer down and with a manual safety on are way way less likely to ruin your day that a gun with a "safe trigger that only goes off if you pull it"

That's my reasoning too. Even with a holster with a trigger guard I carry DA/SA(no safety, the HK DA trigger is damn heavy) for this reason. I doubt this guy even had a holster, most of the time someone shoots themselves "reaching for a wallet" it's because they've just got it shoved in their waist band.

I much prefer, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="color: #FF0000">Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot</span></span>, rather than blaming the weapon.

If he shot himself in the ass, he is probably brain dead now.

Does anyone outside of the saggy pants crowd actually think that "shoved in their waist band" is a legit carry method? Who trains these people and cuts them lose on the streets pretending they're in any way a help to anyone?

If it went off when he reached for his wallet he probably just had it in his pocket. Like a Bobcat or a pos 25acp.

Re: Another reason to avoid Wal-Mart

I'm not going to kick his carry weapon (anything is better than nothing) but this is a PRIME reason for anyone to spend the extra money for the best holster they can afford. Also the buy once/cry once does apply as I have Milt Sparks holsters that I have had for years of daily carry that are still secure, very comfortable, and no one has ever known that I am carrying.
