Florida.

Police said officers found Eric Morkert sitting in the bed of his pickup truck with a gunshot wound to his right leg.

Morkert told police he’d just left a firearms safety class and had pulled over to inspect his new Glock 17. Morkert said he removed the magazine and was manipulating the slide when the gun discharged.

The police said that the incident occurred at 9:45 a.m.  And you were so excited about your Glock that you had to pull over to inspect it?

Okay, unless there is a wild and amazing coincidence, I found this:  in the same neighborhood, there is a security officer named Eric Morkert, who works 4:00 pm to midnight shift and rates “expert” on a Glock 9mm pistol.  Not so much a Glock 17.

Oh please let it be a coincidence.  There is limited amount of irony left in the world.

Thanks to Brian for the heads up.
