Bathroom Gunshot
Stations: Note nature of the following Gun falls and fires when officer drops pants
SAN ANTONIO (AP) _ This is a story they'll be telling around the San Antonio Police Department for a long time.
A police spokesman says an off-duty officer was at a San Antonio auto auction house yesterday when nature called.
Officer Craig Clancy strolled to the appropriate facility and was lowering his trousers when his pistol fell from his waistband. When Clancy fumbled for the falling firearm, it went off -- twice.
One of the bullets nicked a bit of floor tile into the leg of a man who was washing his hands nearby. That man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Police internal affairs is investigating.

Remember, only professional law enforcement is adequately trained to handle firearms properly.
That's one of the reasons why they are the only people allowed to drive drunk.

I was under the impression that ONLY a policeman knows all the Jedi mind tricks needed to control a pistol, just like union carpenters know all the Jedi mind tricks for hammering nails.

As does much everything else these days.
This guy and officers like him are why there is now a 12lb trigger option on Glocks as well as other similar pistols.
