Where is the muzzle pointing with a shoulder holster? I'll bet it was chambered, cocked and not locked. The dope is lucky that he didn't shoot himself while placing it in the holster. Even if he wasn't prosecuted for the negligent discharge, they should have pulled his CCW for that stunt.

"The dope is lucky that he didn't shoot himself while placing it in the holster. Even if he wasn't prosecuted for the negligent discharge, they should have pulled his CCW for that stunt."

Depends on the holster, actually. Some point down. Some point back. But this guy was a cop, so prosecution's not going to happen. He doesn't have to have a permit; He's a cop.

And he's not even going to be disciplined. Even the Police and the State Police "can't figure out how the gun 'went off.'"

Now, some folks might believe that, but nobody who is familiar with the weapon in question would. This cop is an idiot, carrying his weapon in an unsafe way. He discharged it negligently in a crowded theater. Only luck prevented someone from being injured.

But, nothing will happen to the idiot. Now...if it had been one of our thread posters, something would happen. They'd be cooling their heels in the local pokey until they made bail, and would be charged for unlawfully discharging their weapon in a public place.

He's a cop, so he is above the law.

If this was Joe Citizen, he likely would have faced criminal charges for negligence. In most areas, he would have plead guilty, paid a fine, and lost his guns as a result.
