Local man discharges handgun at Greenwood Mall

[Drewski]

The wife and kids were just at the mall, and heard what sounded like a gunshot. Crowd panic ensued and everyone took off running, stores closed their overhead gates. No one knew what happened but many folks left. Just got a call from a friend who owns a shop there, she said a civilian accidentally fired his CCW. That's all I know.

Aside: My wife was at a kiosk when they heard the sound. Bro working at the kiosk said, "I'm ex-military. That was not a gunshot."

Police: 1 person injured after accidental gun discharge at Greenwood Park Mall

Seems like the 4 rules have been mentioned a lot lately. If people would follow them we wouldn’t talk about them so much.

Concealed means conc... (BANG!)

With some people, ya have to ask the question,
"What the heck were you thinkin'?"
But the answer is found in the question itself...
When someone assumes that someone else is actually 'thinkin'!

He was coonfingering...

"Greenwood Assistant Chief of Police Matthew Fillenwarth told 13News that a man was handling a gun in front of Pac Sun, one of the stores inside the mall, and it accidentally went off."

If we were on our game as we should be, someone from our local pro-2A organizations should be contacting the news reporter on this.

It does us no favors to report a negligent discharge as an accident. We all look like that niave person who endangered many, along with themselves.

Needless to say, reaching out to the shooter could be a novel idea also?

Or maybe we'll just keep asking for the shooter's INGO user name?

Perhaps, but I'd have to question the mental acuity of anyone that would openly take his gun out and handle it in a Simon mall (GFZ, although the signs carry no force of law). Not sure if he'd be intelligent enough to understand anything someone would try to say to him.

On the plus side, he probably made 2 dozen shoplifters exit the area.

Paging Kirk Freeman, Paging Kirk Freeman…

Stop coonfingering your damn guns. It was real when you put it in the holster and it is still real when you take it out.

According to my "nextdoor" app it was pocket carry and he shot himself in the leg.. YMMV

I'll be the first to call "good shoot".

 

[Alpo]

Well then, he's lucky not to use appendix carry in the belt!

Sig 320 with the safety volunteer upgrade?

So it was a glock then....

If only there were some sort of device to contain a firearm that blocked access to the trigger. If designed properly, it could also hold the gun in a predictable position for easy and repeatable gripping to remove it from said holding device. A sheath of some sort, but for guns instead of knives.

You think someone would have invented one by now. Seems like a real market opportunity...

yeah a gun holder. but “holder” sounds too generic. make it sound cooler, trendier... like a gun “holdster”

“hey bro, do you carry your gun in your pocket?”
“as if! no way dude, i carry it in my holdster.”
