SAN ANTONIO - This is one story they'll be telling around the San Antonio Police Department for a long time. An off-duty officer was at a San Antonio auto auction house yesterday when nature called, a police spokesman said.
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.

Lessons learned?
Mexican carry in the waistband is no substitute for a good holster.
Grabbing for a falling gun is a bad idea if the safety is off, or if it's a Glock.

Glocks will not "go off" when dropped....even with a round in the chamber.

That's the only thing I can figure. How else would it have fired twice?

I use it now and then as a tagline... But I felt it appropriate for the thread...
LOL on the joke in the hand. I've read that before.....especially when it's way up towards the ceiling in the corner near the sinks... LOL.
