Revolver "Goes Off" as Cop Unloads It
« on: September 24, 2012, 07:31:11 AM »
 In yet another example of those evil guns "going off," a Philly cop shoots a hole in the TSA break room as he attempts to unload a .38 S&W revolver confiscated from a flight attendant.

Quote
PHILADELPHIA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT - September 23, 2012 (WPVI) -- It appears it was an unintentional act, but police say a handgun found inside the bag of a flight attendant at Philadelphia International Airport turned into a big deal this morning.

A Philadelphia police officer was trying to unload the .38 when it accidentally fired a round into the wall.

Maybe cops shouldn't be allowed to play with things they don't understand.

Jayzuss!! I can understand how a glock goes off when a bonehead tries to break it down for cleaning, it's extremely retarded but I understand it.
But a freaking revolver???  ::)

But the Brady bunch tell us that only the police are trained enough to be trusted with guns.

PS, On second thought, this guy might be perfect for EOD. "Okay Sgt. Bilko, take this package and walk very carefully 50 paces that way. Then, shake it really hard". ;)

The ignorance of these "Trained Professionals", along with the totally stupid media that reports it, is beyond belief.
