Armed and dangerous, be on the look out.

This can't be true, I say an ND.

I agree, guns don't go off when dropped ... that's Hollywood BS.

So he keeps his meds in the safe and a loaded firearm sitting on top.

Makes perfect sense and I believe his cat story 100%.

[Cman]

The cat did it. I know for sure, I saw it on someones avatar.

[DSB OUTDOORS]

I say BS!! Especially if it was a Kel-tec. Ive dropped mine once or twice. carry one often, sat on them. Threw it in the truck and nothing! Fng cat! OK??

[Byte Stryke]

wound paths area bitch to fake...

Investigators checked out Crump’s home and said everything indicated that the accident happened as he described.

[68Charger]

anyone who's ever pulled a Kel-Tec pistol trigger won't believe this...

I know I don't!

they will not go off when dropped unless he's done some work to it- there was some modding done at one time to lighten the trigger, and some of it involved lightening the firing pin spring (so a lighter hammer spring could still fire a round)... they could be made to go off when dropped from 6'

stock one, no way.

he did something stoopid, and came up with a story.

There is not a firearm on top but after having 1/2 a bottle disappear out of the medicine cabinet once after one of the kids stopped by with a few of his friends when I was not here YES, I keep them in the safe. I also count them at the window after being shorted by the pharmacy 10 pills about 1-1/2 years ago.

But when it hits the ground, wouldn't the firing pin be pulled back, away from the cartridge?

[Zundfolge]

I call shenanigans.

Unless it was a POS gun like a Jennings/Bryco or a late WWII Nambu Type 94 pretty much any pistol designed/built in the last century has a multitude of safeties including a drop safety making it virtually impossible for a handgun dropped on the floor to discharge (and even then the Jennings/Bryco isn't likely to discharge when dropped).

99.99999% of the time when you hear some story about how someone dropped a gun (or their cat knocked it off something) and it discharged you are listening to a LIE.

Handguns that discharge when they are dropped get recalled. If not the gun manufacturer gets sued out of existence.

This guy was playing with the gun and shot himself and then put together this cock and bull story about his cat knocking the gun over.
