Tulsa County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Justin Green said that although an investigative report was taken following Saturday’s accidental shooting at the Wanenmacher’s Tulsa Arms Show, no criminal charges would be pursued against the shooter.

Green said the man who was shot, former TCSO Sgt. Rick Treadwell, had told investigators he did not want charges to be filed. Treadwell identified the shooter as Brian Pounds, a Tulsa County Assessor’s Office employee. Pounds, a former candidate for Tulsa County commissioner, served as a reserve deputy under former Sheriff Stanley Glanz.

Every instructor I've worked with has always said that floors and ceilings are not necessarily safe places to point a firearm.

You're in a room with only a floor, ceiling and walls, so where you gonna point it? There hasn't been one argument yet that disputes my initial comment about ceiling, wall corners...........

With that being said, which surface has the most chance of non penetration and possible ricochet' of the accidental discharge of the inspected weapon? The wood drywall walls and ceiling or the hard surface floor?...........You might want to check out the video I posted above.

t is going to be bounced right back out -- directly at the source.

There ain't gonna be any "bounce back" from a bullet penetrable surface such as drywall walls and wood ceilings.........

In fact, there ain't even going to be any true angle ricochet' from any bullet hitting a solid wall..........I showed you the video.

For most home-type structures, I'll buy the "in the corner" theory. In a corner, behind the sheetrock, is usually a junction of wooden structural members -- that would tend to trap or slow the projectile.

However, the shooting in the article was in a commercial structure, that apparently had a masonry wall and very likely had a concrete ceiling "behind the sheetrock".

In that case, the physics of the corner reflector will return a projectile toward the shooter.
