Authorities say a police officer's personal handgun discharged twice when someone tried to steal his jacket while he was in the bathroom at an upstate New York shopping mall.
Another of those pesky guns that fire all by themselves. |

Officials say someone reached over the door and tried to grab his jacket, with the gun inside. Police say the gun fired twice, with both bullets hitting the ceiling.
Nothing in those two sentences makes sense. Nothing. That is absolutely unbelievable. |

I suspect he was playing with his firearm while on the toilet and it shot into the ceiling.
|
|
Someone try to reach for the jacket and pull the trigger maybe?
|
|
Are you sure it wasn't a Subway sandwitch that created the disturbance?

I suspect he was playing with his firearm while on the toilet and it shot into the ceiling. Twice, though? True story..... I once knew a detective that sat on the commode at the police station and hung his 1911 on the coat hook by the trigger guard while he did his business. He didn't notice that the safety was off and grabbed the pistol to lift it off the coat hook and the trigger hit the coat hanger and fired. He jumped at the shot and hit the trigger again on the coat hanger and it fired again. He didn't live that one down for a long time. |

Didn't a cops gun go off at the Colonie Mall last year or early this year as well?

Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile He grabbed the grip of the pistol, depressing the grip safety, and as he lifted it to remove it from the hook, the trigger hit the hook. BAMM!! |

I am thinking the cop in the OP's article just recreated this incident. |

Ask any reporter to give you the address of the places where you can get "semi-automatic machine guns" without a check through the internutz or use the "gun show loophole" like evryone else Quoted:

he had an ND and then fired the second one on purpose to match this cover story
|
|
Every time I hear about someone having a ND while on the toilet, I wonder how fast they pinched it off and if they bothered to wipe.
Is that wierd? |
|
Wonder if he'll be in trouble when the investigation discovers that his story is utter crap?
|

We had a cop pull a Plaxico in South ridge Mall awhile back. The dumb ass was off duty carry concealed with no holster (glock if I remember correct).
Gun goes off then had the nerve to tell everyone "I'm a police officer stay calm" lol And in true cop form he was fired then hired back. If I did that they would take away my CCW and charge me with god knows how many crimes. |
