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.
