Local man discharges handgun at Greenwood Mall

[DadSmith]

So carried all day today went to Clarksville Sams Club, Bass Pro all over the area. Never touched my 1911.
Didn’t pay attention to it was there if I needed it in a leather thing attached to my belt.

You didn't feel the need to caress the trigger?

 

[hoglegs]

Was my thought as well. Just more fuel for the fire!

Well it only took a few hours for the anti's to pick this up, they must be scanning 24/7:

That's what the Gun Violence Archive does, scan sources 24/7 for gun violence.

In other news, people still go to malls.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Wait a minute! People still go to THE MALL?

Shooting yourself in the leg while shopping online just seems so... impersonal. Sometimes you just need that human interaction.

You will never learn to spin your pistols like Johnny Ringo without lots of practice.

What a bunch of fussy Karen's. Did they report on Alec Baldwin too?
There is a reason for the four rules.

 

[tcecil88]

Actually they did. GVA sights the deceased lady's name as well as the director as victims with Alec Baldwin as the suspect. Shows it as an accidental/negligent discharge.

I had to go to the mall Friday for my job. When the item was obtained I texted my boss along with “first time in a mall in 5 years.”

Shhhhh…… heat that? Danny Darwin is fabricating a story about none of this being his fault. Probably arranging attorneys to get settlement out of, pants, pocket, lint, PacSun, gun maker, ammo and the mall.

So he's going after "Big Lint"? I dig what you're saying, just couldn't pass up "Big Lint".

Alec Baldwin in town?

Restaurant was PACKED until Alex stood up and said shots on me

I wonder if they include legal self defense & police shootings to inflate their "all guns are evil" numbers?

My money is on "yes"

 

[marvin02]

Yes they include those type of incidents. The data they compile is freely available to anyone to use, the NRA could use it if they want. You could compile a report on defensive gun use from their data.

They cite their sources for each incident.

General Methodology | Gun Violence Archive

www.gunviolencearchive.org

Rather than just collecting incidents of death, GVA also catalogs incidents where a victim was injured by shooting or by a victim who was the subject of an armed robber or home invader. Incidents of defensive gun use, home owners who stop a home invasion, store clerks who stop a robbery, individuals who stop an assault or rape with a gun are also collected. The overall goal is to provide information on most types of gun violence, and gun crime, no matter where it is on the political table. The two exceptions to the near real-time collection are suicides by gun which are collected quarterly and annually due to differing distribution methods by government agencies and for armed robberies with no injuries or DGU characteristics which are collected in aggregate with law enforcement quarterly and annual reports. They are a lagging index, rather than near real time.

Paging Kirk Freeman, Paging Kirk Freeman…

Stop coonfingering your damn guns. It was real when you put it in the holster and it is still real when you take it out.

Can't I have ONE birthday weekend in Bloomington without people doing stupid crap with guns?

One weekend.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

If only there were some sort of device to contain a firearm that blocked access to the trigger. If designed properly, it could also hold the gun in a predictable position for easy and repeatable gripping to remove it from said holding device. A sheath of some sort, but for guns instead of knives.

You think someone would have invented one by now. Seems like a real market opportunity...

A pocket by chance?

No. Stupid does not rest.
