Was he the only one “qualified”?

Who writes this stuff?

Reports said another ADA rushed in after he heard gunshots. Breedon reportedly said not to call 911, but the ADA called 911 after Breedon turned gray and started grunting and drooling, according to WJCL 22 News.

Fired all by itself, eh? I wonder if it was really one of those ghosts crazy uncle Joe is worried about.

Serious question.

As I have never known anyone that has fired a gun under similar circumstances in a workplace, or specifically, in a courthouse (considering, if this did occur in a courtroom, but not in session, then it would be considered, the courthouse proper), would John Q. Public, be treated any different, or would he- "have his firearm returned to him and investigators with the Effingham County Sheriff’s Office formally requested that the case be rendered inactive"?

Asking for a friend that may, or may not, visit a courthouse and show off his firearm to another, and, well, you know...

He'll probably be one to file suit against the manufacturer claiming faulty design and show reports of other idiots doing the same as proof.

That's Effin messed up.

On a serious note, is the P320 prone to negligent or accidental discharges? My guess is not.

Have to be honest, my first guess would’ve been a Glock 40. That whole school demonstration from several years back comes to mind right damn quick.

That said, I guess he’s lucky it wasn’t a 10 mm. Big Grin

I was going to guess a F.lli Pietta Colt single action 45 revolver. Some people claim they can go off without pulling the trigger.

So of course, the article has a picture of Glock pistols.

Says the Assistant DA rushed in after hearing gun shots. Did he do a mag dump into his upper leg? Maybe the sear broke off and the piece became full auto. Satanic Sig.. Big Grin

One shot into the artery would be very serious.

Under circumstances similar here if they were legally carrying and fired a round that was not intentional and no one was injured but themselves then yes.
We do a personal injury report and move along.

It has occurred in an Arby’s bathroom, just had one at a gun show a few months back, folks just walking down the street, getting out of the car at Walmart, those are just a quick few I remember off the top of my head. There have been more I am sure.
