Hoss Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 http://overheadbin.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/24/14062641-flight-attendants-gun-goes-off-at-airport-security-in-philadelphia?lite I hate stories like this. Guns do not "go off". Some nitwit pulled a trigger, or at the very least, dropped a gun. I was not there, but I would bet everything I own that the gun was not just stationary and "went off".

Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It is hard to understand how a policeman was unable to unload a gun without discharging it. Maybe it was the inept TSA agent trying to unload the gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacknife Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It is hard to understand how a policeman was unable to unload a gun without discharging it. Ain't hard to figger out. Some of em ain't too smart anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Branch Louie Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 That's why I keep a CLOSE eye on all my guns. Most stay unloaded when not in use, but you never know when one pesky revolver or rifle is gonna discharge itself without warning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Dave, SASS #78509 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Maybe they were looking for the magazine release. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hoss - could she have been on her way to a Wild Bunch match? That would put this thread in the realm of the SASS Wire, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliff Hanger #3720LR Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Maybe she was unloading the gun the only way she knew how. Pull the trigger until click is heard. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think YOU ARE ALLLLLL WRONG!! Everyone knows that these demonic, witches' devices are the work of the devil!! It spontaneiously grew arms and legs, started playing with itself and went off!! Seriously, everbody had to get into the act, with a predictable result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauder SASS #13056 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 She messed up forgetting that she had the gun. Whoever tried to unload it REALLY screwed up. I really doubr that security or police would allow the person to handle the gun after it was discovered. Sounds like they are covering up a lot of stupidity.

Ranger Sgt. Jake McCandless #3368 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 All one has to do is keep their bugger hook off the go button and they won't go Bang. Adios Sgt. Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastmaster Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 Film clip said gun was a 38 caliber. Does this suggest a revolver? Or just another ill informed report by the press. At least the news media didn't say 'automatic assult firearm' Flight attendant was not arrested because she had a Carry Permit. I didn't know a Carry Permit could get you off the hook, vs not having a Carry Prmit I understand how someone could go through security with a forgotten firearm, especially if they carried most of the time. Does not speak highly of the Law Enforcement person, but it sounds like the department is taking steps to correct the lack of training by the individual trying to unload firearm.
