Man drops gun in movie theater, shooting self in buttocks

Idiotic gun owner to apparently had his gun in his pocket instead of a proper holster. He probably fumbled around adjusting it and hit the trigger shooting himself.

Well least he did not have to worry about to much brain damage from that wound, hard to hit something that tiny! :twisted:

Because nothing bad can happen if the TSA is there and you don't mind a little non-consensual gropage.

I can see it now.... "TSA agent accidentally discharges gun during search procedure". Nice headline.

I think we need to ban TSA agents and have TSA Control.

Where exactly did you see that comment? After reading that there was such a comment I searched. I found only one comment that even mentioned the TSA . It had nothing to do with WANTING the TSA at a movie theater.

Actually the question that needs to be asked is why was he carrying a weapon into a movie theater in the first place. Are we going to have to have the TSA screening theater patrons now? If he was afraid enough to carry then why didn't he wait until the movie came out on VOD or DVD and watch it at home. There are a lot of questions that need answering


Is this the comment you saw? I don't see anything about them WANTING the TSA.
