CENTERVILLE, Utah — The man escaped with a few cuts to his arm, but the toilet made out much worse.

Police say a man's gun fell out of its holster while he pulled up his pants after using the bathroom at a Carl's Jr. restaurant Tuesday. The gun fired when it hit the floor and shattered the commode.

A few shards of porcelain cut the man's arm, and a woman in an adjacent restroom who was frightened by the noise reported she was having chest pain. Both people were checked at the scene and released.

Police say they confiscated the 26-year-old man's firearm while they review the incident. The man had a concealed weapons permit.

I once lived in a small town in Maine. A man was released from prison and was on parole for two days, when a sheriff spotted him walking oddly down Main street at 2:00 AM. The man then started shaking his leg, and out slid a sawn off.
Fortunately it did not go off, but he did go back to the polky.

. . . and a woman in an adjacent restroom who was frightened by the noise reported she was having chest pain.

$$$$ka-ching. Carl's Jr. should have insulated the bathrooms for sound, and since they didn't, they OWE her Big Time.

Another tip...don’t hang it by the trigger guard on the coat hook, especially in Condition one or zero. A guy once found out it makes a nice pinwheel as it bump fires.
