Sheehy accidentally shot himself in 2015, when he was travelling with his family and his gun fell out of a vehicle and fired when it hit the ground in a parking lot on Logan Pass. The ranger who was quoted in the story was Peach.
This is… Unlikely. Not impossible, but very unlikely overall. In almost all cases, handguns are drop safe; they won’t go off unintentionally when you drop them. What will make one go off is trying to grab it while it’s falling, and accidentally pulling the trigger in the process of fumbling with it.
The exception to this are certain Sig Sauer guns that have recently been the subject of a lawsuit; they’ve been found to go off unintentionally when dropped, or when the trigger wasn’t being pulled.
Regardless - lying about how you go shot is still a big problem. I wouldn’t want a senator that lies to protect his buddies; if his Navy SEAL buddies negligently shot him while they were conducting an operation, he needs to report that shit, and they need to be given additional training.
My lawncare guy disappeared for 4 months. Turns out his gun discharged while he was driving and shot him in the leg. Guns are simply too unpredictable to not be treated with all respect due to such a weapon.
Guns are dangerous, but they aren’t unpredictable. They’re simple machines. If that gun was secured safely and properly that would have been impossible.
I don’t want to accuse your lawncare guy of waving his firearm around in his vehicle in an unsafe manner, but he was doing that, or else he wouldn’t have shot himself in the leg.
