When I was a kid, the kids that lived behind my Grandmas home had a paved courtyard with a tree in the center.

We’d place 22’s on the courtyard, climb the tree and drop bricks on them.
No one was injured.
They’d POP. Thats all.

Adams said officers did find the casing for the bullet.

Adams said the case was closed as a suspicious circumstance investigation.

Was the Case mashed?

I once dropped a dumbbell on my toe, but nothing exploded!

Reads as though PFC Al Gore was adjusting his sling again.

Remember the guy just a few years ago.... A man got into his car and when he went to fasten his seatbelt, his Glock 18 accidently discharged. The gunshot blew a 9mm hole through the bottom of the leather seat of his car’s door frame, his underwear, and his pants. Luckily, the man was only slightly injured.

When you're around dangerous tools, weird things can happen...be safe out there guys and dolls.

Wow.... That holster is just ‘weird’. Surly they wouldn’t have designed it that way, which leads me to think it was somehow worn in like that. Almost looks like he’d been regularly firing the gun with the holster still on the gun or something.

Actually I can see where it could happen. Man laying on floor doing presses. When the dumbell comes down on top of shell it is heavy enough to compress and hold the cartridge to the floor. Being that he was probably less than 12 inches or so, I can see where it might penetrate the skin but not very deep. So I think it is possible.

His “Glock 18”? Really?

I doubt it was an 18, as they are machine pistols. However, the result would probably be the same-w/o constant pressure on the trigger, likley only one shot would be fired...

On the other hand, it wold be nice to see pictures of the result of a 17 round mag bewing discharged and the car all at once.
Surprised none of the other 55 posters asked about the “G18”, though.
I hate journalists for the most part....
