WSMV has this too. Their article has him carrying IWB with no holster, felt it move and apparently grabbed the bang button.

WSMV article says no.

[2.ooohhh]

Question I have is; Was he carrying legally? Anyone catch a statement of whether he holds a HCP?

I hear about a guy that use to carry a Glock in an old worn out leather holster and he sat down one time to many in his car with that holster and some of the floppy leather lodged in the trigger and the gun discharged bullet grazing his buttocks passing threw the car seat and floorboard into his driveway.

Hope he wasn't on his Wally Walk.

Wonder if he was an illegal immigrant  packing? a lot of illegals in gangs live in the Antioch Area.  That use to be a nice neighborhood back 15-20 years ago.................jmho

Here is what I found with a search.

 

 

Investigators say a 21-year-old man, who was buying a gallon of milk, felt the gun that had been on his waist start to move.

The gun was not in a holster, and it fired - hitting the man in the leg.

He was transported to an area hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

No other injuries have been reported.

Police said the man, who had his permit to conceal a weapon, will not be charged.

 

This confirms my belief that milk is not good for you.

[Garufa]

That's somewhat good news as TN does not issue a permit to conceal a weapon.  :rolleyes:

[bersaguy]

How many knowledgeable intelligent people stick a gun in their belt to go to a store????????? :ugh: :ugh: :ugh: :squint: :squint:  Pocket yes, Holster yes, belt no!!!!

Kinda makes you hope he doesn't have a permit.

[vontar]

Correction "negligent discharge"

[NRA]

At least he was not OC

[Timestepper]

At least he was not OC

I dunno' - seems like if he was trying to OC without a holster it probably would've slipped long before he got to Walmart... either that or he would've... well... never mind. :whistle:

I'm telling you; it's just too damn dangerous to shop at WalMart...if you don't get robbed/shot in the parking lot some idiot could shoot you inside just by idiocy.   :panic:
