S&W MP 9mm, firing out of battery??? A 22 yo just shot himself.

Could have been a hang fire.

Could have been an accidental discharge.

Could have been a negligent discharge.

The only thing that's a fact right now is that we don't have enough information about the incident to draw a conclusion.

Sure we do. I know enough to know that if the gun is not pointed at your leg you can't shoot yourself in the leg with it. He didn't follow the 4 rules and paid for it. I really have no sympathy for this type of thing.

I'm still laughing at "booger hook"!

2 things here. First is he was pointing the gun at his leg. DUMB! Point in safe direction and clear! Second, there are no such thing as an accidental discharge! I will say that again- THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE!!! There are negligent discharges and gun malfunctions, but no "accidental discharges". This was negligence pure and simple. No sympathy! Are we sure it was a Smith and not a Hi Point?
