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.
Apparently, you live in a gun free zone and feel safe. I don't and I feel just fine, thanks.Apparently some people on this board hang out in some pretty dangerous neighborhoods......
I've not had to shoot anyone, but I am willing and able to if have to.You are insane! I am not willing to take that chance. If you are, I feel very sorry for you.Had a guy come at me at the bar 2 weeks ago. Had the gun on target in a1/4 second. He'd have been on me if I had to rack a round.That's entirely up to you. There's no need to worry about safeties, or the gun going off inadverntly when the chambers empty. Just saying
All ended surprisingly well when he realized he didn't have the knife he thought he had.
If you didn't even fire you didn't need one in the chamber.
Again you didn't fire. A bullet in the chamber made no difference. How many people have you shot?
Don't feel sorry for me, I don't even need to carry and I am fine.
I own a bar. I more or less need to have a firearm. There still are a few Liberals in Alabama.

So she didn't have a permit.
And she didn't have the safety on.
And she shot herself on accident.
You're glad she shot herself.
What's your point, buddy? Please tell me exactly why you brought this up. I promise not to rip you apart if you're nice about it.

You wouldn't be capable of ripping me apart. Don't kid yourself.

Ok how many times have you shot at people? I'd probably carry too if I had a bar, I just don't think it matters if you have one in the chamber or not. How many times have you pulled it on somebody armed?

I accidently (carelessly) had a knife slip and sliced my arm one time. It didn't make the news...
I think bullets go farther than knives. How many people die from accidental knife cuts?
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..
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.
I carry a Springfield XDS .45 with extended mag. with R.I.P. rounds. Deadly accurate!
Criminal negligence.
Trigger locks.
I'm not a gun person, so I don't know. Could it be that something in the purse got caught in the trigger when the purse fell to fire the weapon? A small brush, a tube of lipstick, etc. If it were to end up against the trigger of an unsafed weapon and it was dropped, how likely it would cause the gun to fire?
Could be, but if that happened, the gun would have fired down. Anything that pulled the trigger when the gun was pointed up would need to be very heavy and likely couldn't have fouled the trigger.A ricochet at a near 180 degree bounce wouldn't do much damage at all. On asphalt, probably none at all.I'm not a gun person, so I don't know. Could it be that something in the purse got caught in the trigger when the purse fell to fire the weapon?

I carry a Taurus PT 140 on safe with one chambered and 10 in the mag. It's 11:30 and I will head in to work in an hour. The gun will be there until I get home around 4 AM.I think it's a mistake for everybody to pack heat all the time. And never ever chamber a round unless you're fixing to bust some caps.
That's entirely up to you. There's no need to worry about safeties, or the gun going off inadverntly when the chambers empty. Just saying
Guns should be loaded to full capacity. In the heat of the moment most people will not remember to chamber a round or unlock a safety. In the time it takes to chamber a round, you could be shot dead. Unless you practice drawing and chambering where it's second nature, I advise not to have an empty chamber.
How often is anyone ever really quick drawing on someone? Gun people are always going on about how most the time the gun isn't even fired. If you don't have to shoot you dont need one in the chamber. Way more lives and injuries would be saved carrying without than are saved from drawing and shooting a little faster.
According to what you posted in the Op hers did and it was off.Make sure you have the safety on hand gun common sense 101 sadly some people lack common sense.
Many guns lack safeties.
Yes. Amazing though that many have a bullet in the chamber and no safety.
I can't think of many off the top of my head that don't have a safety I'm thinking they would have to be older model guns. Seems the firing or trigger mechanism would have to be pretty sensitive to go off from being dropped it's not impossible but I would say its rare.According to what you posted in the Op hers did and it was off.Make sure you have the safety on hand gun common sense 101 sadly some people lack common sense.

I think most the smaller carry guns don't have safeties like glocks and ruger lcp for example.

Brain, you knpw there are over 12.8 million people carrying guns for self defense.....and only 505 accidental gun deaths in 2013.....
She is in more danger getting into her car, or simply walking than she is carrying her gun......
