    Man shot after dropping gun while mowing

    Posted: 05/21/2012 05:49:39 AM MDT

    COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.—A Colorado Springs man is recovering after he dropped his gun and it went off while he was mowing his lawn. Police say the man had a loaded handgun in his pocket on Sunday when it fell out, struck the sidewalk and discharged. The bullet hit the victim's lower leg. The man, who was not identified, was treated and released from a hospital.

    I'm sorry, I just don't buy these "dropped gun and it went off" stories (unless there are a LOT of people packing Nambu Type 94s).

    Modern guns just do not discharge when dropped. They don't discharge unless you're futzing around with it and you pull the trigger.
    Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

    "Everything the State says is a lie, and everything it has it has stolen.
    -Friedrich Nietzsche

    "Every time something really bad happens, people cry out for safety, and the government answers by taking rights away from good people."
    -Penn Jillette

    A World Without Guns <- Great Read!

    wow... again, I'm befuddled... I don't buy the drop it and kaboom stuff either. I've purposely tried doing that a few times in my younger stupid days, never had an AD.

    Guns don't shoot people; sidewalks shoot people.
