[QUOTE=abmj-jr;9452801]The article gives no details and it would be very easy to jump to conclusions.
That said, as one who carried a firearm every day for 33 years without an accidental discharge but had to investigate more than one such occurrence, I've got to think that one of two things most likely happened:
- He was carrying the weapon with a round in the chamber, under the hammer, which he should not have.

Ummm, wrong.
Youre military arent you? My brother inlaw was scared to death of keeping a round chambered in his pistol. All that good Army training.....
Modern firearms are designed to carry a round in the chamber. Anyone who doesnt has a nice rock to hit someone with.
Unless a fingeror some other object gets into the trigger guard, it is not going to fire. Drop it, it will not fire. Throw it, no bang.
Smack the hammer without pulling the trigger,.... nothing going to happen.
