Not accidental. Negligent.

NRA A-rated Democrat, Leslie Combs, from Kentucky had a negligent discharge. Says “It happens”. Actually, it shouldn’t. More:

“I was purposely disarming it to put it up because I didn’t like it and I didn’t want to use it any more,” she said. “… I had had it in my purse I carry usually, and I thought I’m going to put that sucker way.”

Combs said the gun was pointed in the proper direction — and away from Greer — as she unloaded the gun, as she has been trained.

“I was particularly careful,” she said. “Rep. Greer was on the other side of the room…No one was in harm’s way. I made sure of that.”

I think you mean unloading not disarming. Any way, I’m guessing booger-hook on the bang-switch or she pulled the trigger thinking it was unloaded. Or disarmed.

    But she won’t be charged with negligence or anything, like you or I would, especially after she made the point that she thinks guns are kinda icky and scary and dangerous.

  2. Crotalus Says:

    She’d better review what she did, because she missed something somewhere.

  3. Rick Says:

    Could have also been a slam fire. Some Ruger autoloaders have had problems where someone attempting to eject the last round in the chamber don’t properly cycle the slide and the hammer falls without touching the trigger.

    #1 reason why firearms ALWAYS must be pointed in a safe direction even when being made “safe”.

    She failed the test, that should effect her NRA grade, no?

    and I thought I’m going to put that sucker way(sic)
    So if she wasn’t at home, where the hell was she going to put it?

    @Rick, I am not aware of any Ruger 380s that have hammers…external anyway.

    KM, I think all the .380s have exposed, but shrouded hammers.

    Image of an LCP, as that is the likely gun.

    Well… she probably broke Rule 4 but obeyed Rule 2 – so nobody was hurt.

    “I was particularly careful,”

    Yeah, right. I’m convinced… NOT!

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
