Reply With QuoteWas it in his holster and climbed out or laying around and got up and shot on its own? If I were a betting man I would bet he, they were doing something they should not have.
Things that make you go hmmmmm...... I'm wondering how a gun simply "goes off".

By faith Noah,being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear,prepared an ark to the saving of his house;by the which he condemned the world,and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith Heb.11:7
For some reason I bet if it was one of us it would have said "Concealed carry permit holder tries to murder fellow permit holder."
While I do believe it is possible for some guns to malfunction and fire accidently, I do not believe they will do this in the holster unhandled.

Uhhh... yeah. About that? Yeah. I think said police officer was doing something he shouldn't have been with that gun.
definitely a "hmmm" situation.
You can have my freedom as soon as I'm done with it!!!
Not likely the gun fired itself while holstered as the other officer was hit in the chest . . . must have jumped out of the holster somehow . . . dang those guns that go off by themselves--they give a bad name to all the others, you know, the well behaved ones that don't fire until the trigger is pulled.
Just another sterling example of why only experts should be allowed to handle guns!:Poep:
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome.--River Tam
Imagine this - The officer who had the "self-firing" gun was demonstrating a hand stand and somehow the gun went off. Looking at various LEO duty rigs, this is the only way I can see the other officer getting shot in the chest.

Just goes to show that all holsters should have a retention strap. If they don't (just ask any gungrabber) the gun is capable of jumping out of the holster and start shooting at people.
