A man and his two young children were standing in the checkout line at the C-Town Supermarket in Reading, Pennsylvania.
According to reports, when the man reached into his right front pocket to get money to pay his grocery bill he unintentionally discharged a .357 Smith & Wesson handgun that he was carrying loose in his pocket.
The bullet hit him in the leg. He was rushed to the hospital. There is no word on his condition.
Fortunately, no one else was injured, including this two young children who were standing right next to him.
According to police, the man had a concealed weapons permit.
I feel for this man but he should have spent the few extra bucks and had a pocket holster for his revolver. The trigger and trigger guard should NEVER be left unprotected/uncovered. This was a stupid mistake and one he has now learned the hard way.
ReplyDeleteI'm no expert but I do legally conceal carry.
OK, .357 is a revolver. How then hell does that go off accidental like?
