Fun With Guns: Canned Goods and Fanny Pack Edition
A Minnesota man shot himself in the leg at Rainbow Foods.
Police are not sure how the gun discharged. There is no indication that this is anything other than an accident.
No one else was injured.
Police say the man has a conceal and carry permit.
I might can help with this. The gun discharged when the trigger was pulled.
And in Pittsburg, a man’s gun fell out of his open fanny pack (seriously) at the Giant Eagle grocery store and injured two elderly shoppers.
TribLIVE reported that when officers arrived, Good immediately told them that it was his gun that fell out of a fanny pack and accidentally went off.
The gun is registered to Good, who has a permit to carry the weapon.
Guns don’t kill people – people with concealed carry permits kill people.
Thanks to everybody for the heads up.
People of Pittsburgh, step away from the fanny pack. It’s locked and loaded. Negligence, not accidents.

2Yep. Negligence.
I hope he is responsible for their medical bills.
3And people in their own homes accidentally kill family members with weapons bought to protect those same people from harm.
4Right there if folks had to pay medical bills seems to me all of a sudden lots of folks would feel safer without guns.
5I have to ask this question: Just where do these people go or live where they feel the need to be packing 24/7? If I was THAT afraid I wouldn’t leave the house.
6Seems like an incident like this should result in the revocation of the concealed carry permit. If you’re too stupid to keep the safety on, you’re too stupid to be carrying a weapon.
7People who shoot self or others through negligence should automatically lose the gun and their CHL. Also, are they not using handguns with a SAFETY!?! Good grief. I support concealed carry, but I wish there was a legitimate way to give a “common sense” test before they can get the license.
8sheesh.
9We don’t need medical bills paid for concealed carry victims. We need medical bills plus multi million dollar lawsuits.
Then the shooter would hopefully get an adjustment in his insurance rates, that reflects the true risk he creates to the public.
10go to a gun store. stand around listening to some of the gun buyers. you will quickly conclude that you don’t want to be very close to some of the CHL holders.
11Who needs guns in a grocery store? Are the gun-toters afraid of getting mugged and having their porterhouse stolen? Does this happen somewhere? Grocery shopping in Minnesota and Pennsylvania must be a lot different from grocery shopping in Maryland.
12Guns don’t kill people – it’s those pesky bullets.
It seems to be all about buying power. Your job may be outsourced at any time, your spouse can leave you, the kids may start doing the wild thing with one of THOSE people – but, hey, you’re in control – thanks to Smith & Wesson.
Or, perhaps, they think the Beatles were right – and that happiness really is a warm gun. Sort of like Sledge Hammer in the old TV series, except they think old Sledge was soft on the Second Amendment.
13The fact that something is an accident does not mean it can’t have severe or even fatal consequences.
14JAKVirginia, maybe they feel the need to carry a gun everywhere they go because of all the OTHER morons carrying guns everywhere they go.
I wish they’d all get their own state and leave the rest of us to our peaceful and not shot-up lives.
15One of these days, a RWNJ is going to snoop into someone’s grocery cart at the supermarket to see if they are misusing Food Stamps and they are going to end up with a gun stuck to their nosey nose, a gun with no safety. That’s when things are really going to hit the fan in all directions: invasion of privacy, stalking and so forth let alone getting shot.
