Give this cop a break. We’ve all had a misfire. Mine was back when I was a teen. But it was in a car at the drivein not a bathroom.

The term "misfire" means that a gun did not fire when the trigger was pulled, usually caused by a bad primer or weak firing pin.

Oh no son, we haven’t. There also should have been something in your mind that should have told you handling a gun at the drive in isn’t a good idea.

Hmmm, well, yours may have been a misfire, but it sounds like his could be more accurately described as an "AD", or "accidental discharge".
