Police reports show that a Cass County deputy who accidentally fired his handgun in a courthouse restroom had hung the weapon on a coat hook inside a bathroom stall. The reports say Sheriff`s Detective Dean Wawers hung the gun by its trigger guard, and the gun caught on the hook and discharged into the ceiling when he went to retrieve it. No one was hurt in the January 10th incident. Authorities determined it was an accident and filed no charges against the Wawers, 57, who is a 35-year veteran of the sheriff`s department. Sheriff Paul Laney has said an internal investigation is being done.

Hm. Now, what were all those ideas about how to safely and securely keep the firearm within reach but well-secured during a visit to the WC? Anything other than hangin' it by the trigger guard, I'll warrant.
