I smell bs. The only time I've seen a gun discharge when hit against the floor was in movies...

Wish that were true..

An officer was shot in the head when his Sig 220 took a fall on concrete, hammer first. The pistol discharged and shot him in the head :( (There is a link for that story somewhere around here)
 
Geez guys, don't you realize that if we all carried glocks or had the california drop test, we would be safe?
 
My guess is, the man and his wife were having marital problems. And it was the wifes cat.............. :rolleyes:

I do not know about cats, but on 2 different occassions 2 different dogs shot & killed a Dodge van. Once the dog stepped into the triggerguard of a Remington shotgun & blew away the front-mounted engine. 12ga 00 buck at less than 3 inches makes a BIG hole. Second time the dog stepped on the stock, pushing it forward where the trigger was caught by lunch leftovers & took out the floorboard, and most of the transmission hump underneath. Probably less than 6 inches from muzzle to target.

No inmates in the van either time, and fortunately no staff forward of the muzzle, but incident #2 did result in some #2 from the guys sitting in the 2nd row of seats.

Neither dog was suspended, had any pay docked, or otherwise was disciplined for their ND. I do seem to recall that they had a few days off to allow hearing to return. Neither one ever seemed to shy away from shotguns, as much as that was anticipated.

I get to hear all these great stories, and see the pictures, but sitting behind a desk does keep one from getting too close to the oops factor. :D

stay safe.

Ailurophobia notwithstanding,

I call "BS" on this tripe. :barf:

The guy had a negligent discharge and needed a quasi-plausible excuse to cover up his incompetence. It seems that blaming the cat was the best he could do... :rolleyes:
 
Skid what were they doing leaving loaded shotties well the pups could play with them? I have taught Hunter Ed for years and that is a classic no no that we warn about.
 
Bear Gulch,

NO - absolutely no, none, nada, not a single one -- shotguns were left laying around where the puppies could play with them. No correctional officer would ever do that, right? :rolleyes:

The evil shotties were left on the floor of the van in order to keep them out of the hands of the inmate work crews, and the officers and dogs were getting a water break from watching the inmates cut brush. In both cases, the vans were opened up to let the pups in some shade - after sitting in the sun for hours with all the windows rolled up tightly. :fire:

Since guns do not just "go off" all by themselves, and since the dogs were not certified and qualified on the 870 so would never even intentionally touch one, it must have been an ACT OF GOD. :D At least that's what I think they all decided to call it after trying out every other line known or unknown to mankind. Besides, ACT OF GOD is easier to spell than "negligent discharge" -- assuming some of them could spell either of those two words.

Some day I'll tell you about the .38 rounds that were ignited by static electricity and ventilated the roof of the guard tower.

stay safe.

How's the phrase go? Don't blame on conspiracy what can be attributed to stupidity?

I believe it. He probably owned some cheap piece of junk, safety off, hair trigger. So to speak.

He should've bought a Glock. :)
 
Skid,

No need to explain. I was an army MP. You know those cute white gate shacks? Most of them have swiss cheese for flooring as the newbies cannot resist playing quick draw! On one post, I got to help investigat a shooting of a Patrol Supervisor who surprised a private playing quick draw.
 
I can see Traveler chasing me around the house with a Glock screaming," I told you to get science diet".

"...it must have been an ACT OF GOD."

No, it was clearly an Act of DOG. :what:

Read The Full Document! :rolleyes:
