The article says "Police said it's not clear how bad the injuries were but called them non-life threatening."
I whole heartedly disagree.

First and foremost here is that no one died. Yes, it is a serious breach of firearm use. Seeing as no one died, and was not crippled (from a visual standpoint), we have to take the opportunity to laugh at the less serious accidents that occur. I laugh at the dumb mistakes I've made in the past even though I sure would not have at the time.
We all move on from the things that happen. We need to look at the lighter side of life to not get bogged down by the ugliness that exists after all.
I've heard of "Shoot it out your shorts" before but that's just nuts!

That was hard to read. There will always be someone with good intentions but just has the wrong gear. Hope he's ok.

This acutally happened, I was a radio technician working on the sheriffs radios back then, like 30 years ago. I heard it from a sheriff lieutenant.
A female sheriff was assigned to Vice (Entrapment of Johns). She had a silicon job and her holster was horizontal, and lets just say the silicon job was a roof over the gun in its holster. You get the idea.
The gun was a model 36 2" smith, and was fitted with a trigger shoe. She got into a situation where she had to draw and show the badge. When replacing the gun in the holster, the shoe caught the holster and went off, taking out the sil job on one side.
Its awful strange that this never happens in the movies when the tough guy carries a pistol without a holster and crams the thing down in the front of his pants.
"Police said it's not clear how bad the injuries were but called them non-life threatening." - Yeah that's what she said.
That's easy for the police to say, I bet when he finds out he doesn't have all of his appendages anymore, he'll think his life is over.
Talk about a moron but then again future generation's should be better off.

The news article said in part..
"According to the police report, the man had his fiancee's pink pistol tucked in the front waistband of his pants when the gun accidentally fired."
Ahhhhh. I've been around firearms for years now and have yet to see any accidentally (just by themselves because they wanted to), fire! Firearms just don't accidentally do anything.
