Which guns can fire when dropped?

I think he was checking the weapon, not readying to fire. But I'm probably giving too much benefit of the doubt.

The "Doofus" Rule seems like a good addition though.

The California DOJ has a list of guns that DON'T fire when dropped--at least the way they drop the guns. This is a requirement for sales in California.

Seems that these extoriionists would have us believe that barrel length and color of firearm are involved in the likelyhood that a dropped firearm would discharge as such diffrences among models with the same action require additional (expensive) testing.

I like to cook and I enjoy teaching young'uns to cook. One of the first things I show them is my left index finger, then I tell them "if you drop a knife, DON'T catch it".

ouch. yeah, wish i'd had that lesson. stupid because i did already know
"run!" when large equiptment falls (don't try to save it)

-at least when the gun fell it was not loaded.
it will not fall again.

I got a nice bruise on the top of my foot from sticking it under a falling CZ75 Compact once

Better than grabbing it, I 'spose.
