Hah, when I saw the title of this thread, somehow I knew Lee24's name would appear in it.


Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

So, was he trying to remove the bullets by firing them? As I recall, you unload that revolver by pushing a button the lets the cylinder swing to the side, well out of range of the firing pin. I wonder if he knows the button from the trigger.


It doesn't say it in the article that's linked, but I read in another article that it was a female cop that did the negligent discharge. It being Philadelphia, I'll bet you could guess her ethnicity also.

I bet I know what happened. He couldn't figure out how to open the cylinder to unload, so he used the key locking system and pulled the trigger to make sure it was locked. grin BAM!!!!!!

OTOH, what kind of air headed flight attendant would go through security with a gun? It's not like she's a 1st time flier.


Seems to happen fairly regular, last time it happened here it was a football coach. The commonality in these incidents is that the gun was habitually carried in a bag of some sort, in this flight attendant's case a purse.

Running out the door to work, she forgot to check this time. An almost guaranteed human error sooner or later. Which ain't to say she should not be held responsible.

The Cop however, is a f'ing moron.
