Guns do not go off when dropped, An old revolver left cocked, might, but not likely.The woman, who works at Miller Weldmaster Corp., which offers machines used in manufacturing items such as inflatable products, awnings and tarps, had a loaded gun in her purse and the safety was off. When she exited her vehicle just after 9:30 a.m. Friday outside the business at 4220 Alabama Ave. SW, she dropped her purse and the gun fired. She was taken to a local hospital, Maier said.
The woman does not have a permit to carry a concealed weapon, Maier said. The Stark County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident, and no charges had been filed Friday morning.
Sheriff Woman accidentally shot by gun in her purse - News - The Independent - Massillon OH
carrying my makes you safer? Do we really need more people like this? Glad she shot herself rather than some innocent person.
An automatic, left cocked without the safety on would need to have something substantial engaging the trigger to go off when dropped. Even then, it's 99:1 that that would mean the barrel is pointed down when the gun goes off.
I find the whole story implausible.
I think it's a mistake for everybody to pack heat all the time. And never ever chamber a round before you're fixing to bust some caps.
Condition 2 is my favorite.
Why carry a gun that's not loaded to it's full capacity?
I advise people to always carry with a round in the chamber.
A buddy of mine carries a 32 you can hide in the palm of your hand. It ain't big, but 6 or 7 rounds.......Stupid is hereditary.Tell that to my dead uncle, a Cleveland county sheriff that had been working on a two shot derringer and put it in his shirt pocket, he dropped something and bent over to pick it up and the derringer fell out of his pocket, fired when it hit the ground and shot him between the eyes..Guns do not go off when dropped, An old revolver left cocked, might, but not likely.

Why would he have a cocked derringer in his pocket?
Derringers scare the crap out of me. Most are cheaply made and none have a trigger guard. My partner carries one when he's behind the bar, but never cocked.
I've never had any use for one. I've shot my share and found them to be highly inaccurate in distances further than ten feet.
I always figured if you want a pocket gun there are plenty of .380 and 9mm. semi autos out there that are plenty small. And you can actually hit with em.

Ever watch the Mythbusters? This season they placed a semi-auto handgun with a chambered round in oil in a deep fryer - at around 360 degrees it fired. Not related to your post in anyway, but something you might find interesting,

trigger locks? WTF good is a gun you can't fire?Criminal negligence.

Why exactly were they frying a gun?
The Colt 1911 is a fine defensive weapon -- but it is notorious for accidental discharges in untrained hands.Had a loaded 1911 Colt go off on me in a house fire years ago. Replaced the grips, cleaned it up and carried it for years.

I believe at least ninety percent of the accidents described in this thread, and those which will occur in the future, would have been avoided with some effective training.

Not very likely that it was 360 degrees in this woman's purse, donchathink?
I like that! Crimson Trace?
How do you like the sight?
