OK, let's save a bunch of time, as here are the responses to come.

1. "Keep your booger hook off the bang switch."
2. There is no such thing as an "accidental" discharge.
3-100.

Bullet hit a light fixture. What was this person doing I wonder.

Channel 11 reports that it was a retired Houston Police Officer that dropped his gun and that he has a CHL

I want to know what kind of gun fired when it was dropped.

The most surprising part of this story is that there is a Walmart in The Woodlands.

There are actually 3 Walmarts this one isnt the "nice" one its just a typical Walmart. The third just opened and doesn't have a checkout stand just walk out the door and they bill you what is in the cart.

I don't own a 1911 yet so I have a question about them. Is a 1911 with the thumb safety off, "drop safe"?

Some are some aren't. Whether its a Model 70 or 80. Some have light weight titanium firing pins. or stronger firing pin springs. Their is a Schartz safety ( tied into the the grip safety.)

There was an ND inside a Walmart by a small town police chief in full uniform several years back in Tyler. Shot himself too. He was fiddling with his Glock while in line at a checkstand.

Yeah! It didn't start out as such an exclusive development. The Woodlands is a HUD development funded by you and me to include all economic demographics from subsidized housing to high end homes; a deal worked out by George Mitchell and the federal government . Funny they never did have any "projects" type housing.

Why was he even in a position to be openly handling -- and dropping -- a gun in the first place?
