The fellow accidentally (negligently) shot himself when the firearm was dropped;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The way they were holding their weapons, with the fingers on the triggers, you can tell a couple of these gentlemen have no idea about weapons safety. It&#8217;s like the Clampetts have come to town,&#8221; Muskogee County Sheriff Charles Pearson told the online news outlet muskogeenow.com, comparing the armed men to the family in the TV series &#8220;The Beverly Hillbillies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An operator of the store&#8217;s Facebook page directed reporters to a statement posted late Tuesday that called the shooting &#8220;an unfortunate accident.&#8221; The statement claimed the man who shot himself came over to the shop to help fix a door in the office &#8220;and, as he bent over, his weapon fell from a malfunctioning chest holster and went off when it hit the floor.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know, but that sounds a little far-fetched as accidents go. I&#8217;m pretty sure that most modern handguns have safeties to prevent a weapon from firing without pulling the trigger. But, paying for a gun is only part of the responsibility of gun ownership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hondo sends us a link from Fox News in regards to one of those great protectors &hellip; <a title=\"Man protects &#8220;Muslim-free&#8221; gun range from himself\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=61468\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Man protects &#8220;Muslim-free&#8221; gun range from himself<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-61468","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61468","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=61468"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61468\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=61468"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=61468"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=61468"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
