"When he shook the item out of the sock, police say the gun accidentally discharged in his hand."

.....when his accidental finger accidentally pulled the accidental trigger.

Oh good grief, this will give fodder to the anti gun lobby ... guns really do kill people on their own!

the gun accidentally discharged

Another irresponsible gun on the loose, I see. It probably came from a broken home.

and just think, there’s probably another orphaned sock somewhere in the world...

This is really a sad story. What a way to go.

Ban socks. At least a thirty day waiting period. After all, it’s for the children.

It fell out of the sock, into his hand, and fired itself. Sure.

I wonder if this was an illegal or legal gun. Was it registered? We know it didn’t have a trigger lock.

Why Not?

SUV’s kill people, run into buildings, get involved in police chases on a daily basis.

I would be checking out the guy that was handling it and see if anything going on between them.....

Looking over the response, I am glad I am not the only person who smells a mouse here.

That’s impossible. Everyone knows there are no guns in Chicago.

"handgun hidden inside a sock"

Whoever put it there is guilty of negligent homocide.

No different than leaving your car parked on a hill, next to a playground, with the engine still running. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
