Must... refrain... from... posting.... initial.... thoughts.....

The “Blue Goose” still operates? I thought it went belly-up a coupla decades ago.

A police officer was called over to check out the gun. That's when it accidentally discharged, the spokesperson said.

Bugger-hook on the Bang switch !

[Darth Reardon]

Why do I suspect “that WAS accidentally discharged” would be more accurate?

[driftdiver]

Another report indicated the firearm was a revolver.

The police officer was responsible for the negligent discharge.

[GladesGuru]

“Only Law Enforcement personnel are competent to handle firearms!”

A case can be made that not even a uniformed Donut Eater can keep an eeeevilll gun from discharging.

BAD COP! NO DONUT! !

[Malone LaVeigh]

The report I heard on the radio this morning claimed that the gun discharged as the police officer was attempting to unload it.

[gundog]

That's when it accidentally discharged....

Hmmm.... I'm thinking that maybe it discharged on purpose, just to stir things up. Or maybe some idiot pulled the trigger.

Flight attendant's gun goes off at airport security in Philadelphia

After which the gun ran off and hid under a chair.

[backwoods-engineer]

This is a lie. They “highly trained” cops don’t know to keep their fingers out of the trigger guard. The cop caused the negligent discharge. Only damaged guns “go off” by themselves.

[bikerman]

Glad there were no dogs around.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Everything was fine until the cop started messing with the gun.

[Pollster1]

A police officer was called over to check out the gun. That's when it accidentally discharged, the spokesperson said . . . The woman received a summary citation for disorderly conduct, was taken into custody and released, according to Philadelphia Police Lieutenant Ray Evers.

That police officer, who should never handle anything more dangerous than a glazed doughnut, pulled the trigger, so the owner of the revolver gets charged? I guess that makes sense by Phily standards. Instead of the airport, Barney Fife should be here:

[basil]

ping!

[Manly Warrior]

A cop was called... the firearm “went off”.

Wanna bet the cop discharged it while pretending to be clearing it... While the article does not state who the operator was at the time of the negligent discharge, I’d bet a dozen donuts no cop would let a citizen clear their weapon in their presence... (they ain’t no one mo’professnel than me”).

I watched several of my loaded, off safe firearms for many hours, doing basic research on the instances of firearms “going off”.

I cannot replicate the stated results in any manner whatsoever, therefore, firearms do not go off by themsleves... Has not been a single incident of any of them going off over many hours of observation in all sorts of environmental and physical conditions. However, when I tested them to insure they were operational, they all went off on command.

Get the idea?

The media/left is playing the public for fools, which (we) are for the most part, it seems.

[Leep]

Did they charge the gun with anything?

[Unruly Human]

A revolver with a safety? ......

[Georgia Girl 2]

Five will get you ten it was a Glock. No safety. Not good weapon for a handbag. I would have gone with a Bersa 380. It has a safety and a decocker. Even a cop can handle one safely.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It didn’t just “go off”. That moron cop put his finger on the trigger and pulled.

[zagger]

Cop fires her revolver into the wall and SHE is charged with disorderly conduct!! Any cop that cannot figure out how to open a revolver and dump out the ammo is severly lacking in basic skillz. What an idiot. Only way that gun fires is by pulling the trigger - a long heavy DAO trigger.

[TigersEye]

A police officer was called over to check out the gun. That's when it accidentally discharged, the spokesperson said.

I take the gun was fine until a cop came over to "check it out!?!" It was obviously one of those cop-killer guns! Gun makers should be fined for making guns that don't like cops.
