Freakin' idiot. Take his permit, take his guns, send him to prison and never let him touch a firearm again.

This is one of a number of reasons I do not go to movie theaters anymore.

“...tossing a gun clip into the trash.”

Sigh.

Was this an AMC theater where they serve booze?

When I was in my early twenties, I took my young family several times to a neighborhood theater at a nearby shopping center. It was a rough neighborhood.

Whenever something exciting happened in a movie, the whole audience would erupt into gleeful screaming, yelling, laughing and jumping up and down. It was hilarious! The second time we went and thereafter, we joined in. It was a hoot!

Many people in the theater carried weapons. It was a fact and rule in that area, that nearly everyone carried weapons. There was never a shooting in that movie theater that I know of.

Maybe some classes of people are simply more clumsy with tools and mechanical devices than others.

The guy had a pistol permit yet was intoxicated and playing around with his pistol in a crowded theater when there was no imminent threat? He is an idiot and isn't responsible enough to be carrying a firearm. He violated every rule of common sense and gun safety. This wasn't an "accident". It was negligence.

Chances are he will get sued by the victim and rightfully so. Even if he has some kind of insurance he is out of luck. Being stupid sucks for everybody. It certainly did for the victim.

Leave evidence behind, flee the scene, don’t report it to police...

Glad I won’t be on his jury. While one action might have been an exercise of gross negligence (I see nothing to qualify it as an accident), the rest in my book is criminal.

Seems we have criminal negligence, criminal attempt to dispose of evidence, criminal fleeing the scene of a crime.

His being a total dork has allowed him to become a criminal and prison awaits.

Though stuff like this is going to happen in a free society, I don’t want to take away anyone’s guns. I must be blind?

There is one individual in one of my circles of friends that has caused two negligent discharges in the presence of some of us during range sessions. (not in my presence or he would have never come around for the second) He can own as many guns as he wants, he just can’t let us know he has one on him when he is near any of us.

The old "Glock in the pocket" mishap?

[backwoods-engineer]

This is how the gun-grabbers do it. Just wait for an idiot to hurt someone accidentally with a gun, and then they’re off to the races. This story will soon go national, and when it does, the drumbeat to outlaw concealed carry will be sounded by the media. The gun-grabbers do not care about the Heller or McDonald decisions, and neither does the blackmailed Supreme Court.

[The_Media_never_lie]

There’s something about a gun that makes it a fascinating toy for a drunk.
