    Never undestood how this can happen. Either you pull it or you don't, nothing accidental about it.
    I can think of a number of ways it can happen, mainly involving a piece of the case hitting the trigger while opening the case, however, the Army's term for it is negligent discharge, which is completely accurate.
    Unless it's in a holster, there shouldn't be a round in the chamber, and only an idiot carries locked+cocked. That's why they make double action triggers.

    And the media lies yet again

    The perp didn't even use the assault rifle, it was found in his car. The initial reports were correct.

    Now can we get a nationwide retraction of the story and a nationwide end to the hullaballoo over a non-issue?

    I will not hold my breath - if there is a retraction it will likely be done as quietly as possible, if at all.

    MSNBC was covering the Texas college incident on "The Cycle" Tuesday.

    The pinheads on the show had a few people (experts and the like) calling into the show and the hosts kept
    trying to work the "assault weapon" angle into the report.

    When it was determined to be an arguement between two people and no reports of an AW were to be found?

    They tried to work GWB as the reason for the shooting. j/k... They dropped the report and went on to blathering on about politics.

    Gang bangers in Houston. I was truly shocked. I was in Houston years ago to do some equipment installs for a NG unit.......their armory was inside a double row of fencing topped by razor wire, and we were advised to park IN the armory, which goes against normal policy.
