Yes. Allegedly fell out of of the mothers holster and struck the hammer on, discharging into the 4 year old leg above the knee. It hit his femoral artery. No report on child yet, was conscious and flown to Anchorage.
Proper gear selection. If your gun can fall out of your holster, you have the wrong holster. If your gun can discharge by being dropped (taurus), you have the wrong gun. |

I bet you anything it was a Taurus. Anything is possible with their shitty guns. There is a video online of one that fires when the guy shakes it a little. I have seen reports of their 1911s firing when dropped. It would not surprise me at all if their revolvers would fire if dropped as well.

Wow, just like GD. Really guys? Totally irrelevant to the child's condition, and probably not your best choice in postings.

My experience has been that these type of situations are rarely as they first appear. I suspect more "Human" involvement.
Until that day, Darkop |

Sample size of one, no history on what has been done to the gun video on the internet from a third world country....
Obviously all taurus firearms are unsafe |
