Fun With Guns: Speaking of Barrels Edition

I’m not saying that a Cracker Barrel in Florida is the whitest most redneck place on the damn planet. No, wait. That’s exactly what I’m saying.

Last Sunday at about 8:30 am a guy dropped his holstered gun while walking past a fireplace at the Cracker Barrel.

According to investigators, the gun owner, who was a customer at the restaurant, was walking up to pay his bill when a loud popping noise was heard. Investigators believe the gun fell out of its holster as the man walked past a fireplace in the restaurant.

The bullet hit an innocent guy in the calf as he was enjoying his pancakes.

A customer commented to the media …

“Waitress came over with a towel and wrapped it, she put pressure on it and my wife called 911. I’m just happy it didn’t injure any of my family members that were with me, my son and my wife,” the witness told WESH 2 News.

I think we all kinda feel that way.

Here’s the best part.

The Seminole County Sheriff’s Department said the shooting was accidental. The gun owner will not be charged. Investigators said he has a valid concealed weapons permit.

If I have to carry liability insurance on my car, then you should be required to carry liability insurance on your gun.

According to other witnesses, they still have not identified the good guy with a gun who would have kept this from happening.
