IUPUI officer suffers minor injuries after accidental discharge | Fox 59

Whoops. Comments on Booger Hooks and Coon Fingers come to mind. He was in a basement and was fondling his side arm I suspect. Glad no one was hurt too bad.

Mods...no idea where this belongs...so feel free to move as needed.

"ALWAYS keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction"

I don't understand why people can't seem to grasp this concept.

Not accidental, negligence.

 

[GunSlinger]

This time stupidity hurt.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Not accidental, negligence.

I don't know why people say that. They aren't mutually exclusive. It can easily be both.

 

[ModernGunner]

Depends on whether the act (or action) was willful or not.

This was willful, therefore 'negligent'.

Students aren't allowed to carry, but....

I find this very strange.

Going tactical in the basement?? Too many Zombie movies!

Use caution when reholstering your handgun after pooping...nuff said.

Sounds like a Paul Blart moment.

Got the news alert and figured it was stemming from this weekends activities

Must have been a fat boy. Us svelte guys take the whole belt off.

While discharging a weapon "might" be accidental - hitting yourself or someone you didn't intend to shoot is without any doubt - negligence.

I don't get the whole #2 thing. Mayhap I am missing something, but I leave it holstered, dropping trou to calf level. Everything stays in place. Is there something I am missing here? Should I be unholstering for a specific reason?

Same. No reason to unholster. Too much room for operator error If you do so.

You're missing the part where you remove it to play with it while you poop.

It's a lifestyle choice, don't knock it.

I guess this applies to both your "gun" and your sidearm.

It's the best place to admire my piece...

The person intended to shoot themselves?

Accidental

happening by chance or accident; not planned; unexpected:

Willful

deliberate, voluntary, or intentional

He could easily have been negligent in his regards to safety, but the act of discharing the weapon remains accidental unless we're just going to ignore the meaning of words in order to prove whatever point the whole ND vs AD debate is trying to prove.
