An off-duty FBI agent allegedly accidentally shot a man in the leg early Saturday after the agent’s gun fell from his holster on the dance floor of Mile High Spirits, according to a Denver police news release.

“The victim was transported to the hospital with a good prognosis,” the news release read.

The name of the agent wasn’t released because he hasn’t been charged, said Marika Putnam, a Denver police spokeswoman.

It fell out when he did a back flip

How odd the Denver paper would blame the Agent, considering he didn't have it when it went off.  Sounds like the gun really did it this time.

Shall we place bets on whether the agent will be punished in any way?

I've heard about guns going crazy and shooting people by themselves.  Never saw it before though.  Hmmm

The picture of this drunk idiot picking it up by the trigger is hysterical. Very similar to the dumb Fed who left his gun on the tank of a public toilet after he took a dump.

I will have to remember not to do any backflips while wearing IWB.

Anyway, that guy should be arrested for his dancing with additional charges for the firearm discharge.

A supervisory special agent acquaintance of mine got punished for a far lesser offense with his sidearm.

I recall the cop hanging his 1911 (by the trigger guard) on the stall hook, where it went off and proceeded to spin around and empty the magazine as each recoil bounced it into the trigger again.

We are traveling in the northeastern states.  Yesterday, we stopped for gas and Bob went to the restroom.  He went into a stall, and saw a loaded pistol in a holster on top of the toilet paper container.  He checked to see if the safety was on and it was.  He went to the cashier and told the man he needed to come with him right now to the restroom.  On the way to the restroom the man asked what was wrong.  Bob told him there was a loaded gun in there.  The man freaked out, turned an ashen color and was scared to death.  He stopped outside the door and said Bob could not go in.  The man opened the door and yelled, "Is anyone in here?!"  He told Bob to stand guard at the door while he went in.  He went in the saw the gun, came back out and locked the door. 

The man went to get the manager, a woman.  She was calm and picked up the phone and called the cops.  Bob left, came to the car and told me and said let's go before the cops get here and before the owner of the gun might come back when he realized his gun was gone.  We left.  Men, never leave your gun in the men's room or the women's room if you happen to feel like a woman that day.

I wear IWB.  I do not understand men having to remove their pistol to sit down.

Whatever happened to keeping your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Yeah... Like maybe making sure your holster is back-flip-proof in the first place...

Actually, I really make an effort to NOT do back-flips when I'm packing. It doesn't always work out, but for the most part, it has.

And keep your booger hook out of the banger hole until you're ready to blast.

Yeah, me too. Last time I did a back-flip with a firearm was shortly after I stepped on that wolverine. But I was shooting at the time, and screaming like a woman. And I consider that an unusual circumstance.  :shrug: That event produced an array of gymnastic moves combined with live fire... But I would submit to you, that while a necessity in my mind, it should not be considered normal usage, nor any sort of art form.  **nononono*

Booger hooks in various holes seem to be a downfall for men, generally...  :shrug:
