doh!

Stupid stupid stupid. If he was going to check it, why was it LOADED?

"I was grazed by a pellet fragment on the left side of my face," Phillips wrote. "However, there were no visible injuries."

 

Good try!!

I bet he needed to change his skibbies after the discharge. (no pun intended)

I agree with krdshrk,Why was it loaded? but what I don't get is they never mentioned what happened to the police officer? They never mention if he got reprimanded or why did a trained police officer not know how to check a firearm if it's loaded or not with out firing it. I can't say I understand what the civilian is going thru because I live in this state but alot of states down south are very understanding to firearms.

Explaining how to clear a revolver to a police officer? Sounds strange.

He was just checking to see if it was loaded. I mean, that's the first thing I do when I pick up a gun...start pulling the trigger furiously to make sure it's empty.

He must of had a Glock - pulled the trigger to clean

It was a revolver and the LEO couldn't safely unload it? (I wonder if it was SAO.)

 

Thumbs down to the guy who brought a loaded gun to the airport check point! (You are hurting the cause dude.)

It is mind boggling that you could "FORGET" you had your loaded firearm in your bag when you consciously transferred it from your luggage to your carry-on.

This may be the graze that he speaks of..
