same &hit happened to me...at the LA riot...back in 1991. I guess...
we were at the hotel (7th and wilshire) lobby (the owners of hotel let us uses the hotel lobby for patrol station) one of the patrol member was asking to the patrol board for gather some info about all the serial numbers of the patrol members gun infos...so I tell him get some papers and pens for members around here...and he was keep saying one person has to do all that so its easy to read and all...(I hate to give up my guns in some others hand, BTW there was about 70 peoples were in the lobby, most of us have a loaded guns...looks like a movies...BTW, half were sleeping in the couch and some walkin around, we had to patrol all nite everyday) in other words, alot of peoples were in the lobby...
BTW, we were doing the registrations in line, I heard "BANG" a gunshot" went off...a guy who writing info. he place a finger inside a trigger guard, and try to turn the page with a gun holding hand...the bullet went thru a guys pants and thru the couch and didn't hurt nobody...he was a lucky bastid
sounds very idiotic, but when you are in the situations like that? and we all asking to empty the gun before hand it over? yelled a dosen times...it still come in as loaded? gun accidents I saw many of it...and mostly they don't make sense, but happened...
He prolly thinks he knows about guns, and thats why department is letting him doing the demonstrations in the public...with the real gun not the dummy gun...and still accident occurs...
Anyway, I feel sorry for him
