Personally, I can't work out having a pistol in my pocket. I don't know about you guys, but I don't have that much space left. I have enough trouble trying to pull out change at the donut shop, with keys and pens in one pocket and wallet in the other. I know first hand that keys get hung up on all kinds of things, so can see how this discharge could happen. Trying to figure out how to pull a pistol among all that. Have to many bulges in all front pockets, don't need anything in back pockets. So you guys must wear huge pants with huge pockets.

Car salesman shoots self in foot

Tuesday, March 6, 2007

By TJ Aulds / KHOU.com

Dickinson police were called to a car dealership Tuesday afternoon after one of the salesmen shot himself in the foot.

Police Chief Ron Morales said the sales man was talking with fellow employees at the dealership in the 3300 block of Interstate 45 South with his hands in his pocket when he “somehow just pulled the trigger.� The mishap occurred about 1:30 p.m.

Morales said the salesman, who is also a reserve deputy for the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, had a pistol in his pocket when it went off. The weapon was a small pistol .380-caliber Kel-Tec, a popular handgun among police officers.

The injured man was taken to a local hospital. The extent of his foot injury was not known Tuesday afternoon. Kel-Tec handguns
Why were the police called, instead of the ambulance? Did he need permission to carry on premises? Or did they think he was a crazy employee about to set it off and didn't know he was a reserve cop?
