A licensed concealed handgun owner from Waco, Texas hurt more than his
pride on Monday when his weapon accidentally discharged while he was
reaching for his wallet at a Dallas Walmart store.

Police said that Todd Canady, 23, was in the checkout line when he
fired the pistol he was carrying inside his pants.

“The bullet struck Canady in the buttock, then ricochet on the floor
and broke into pieces,” KDFW reported. Two children and a woman were
also wounded when they were struck by bullet fragments.


Other reports indicated that the bullet grazed Canady’s leg he when
dropped the Springfield .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol. Shards of
concrete from the floor were said to have caused the wounds to the
woman and children.

Although injured, the suspect allegedly ran from the store when he was
confronted by an off-duty officer.

After catching up with Canady, officers determined that he had a valid
concealed carry permit, but charged with evading arrest. He may also
be charged with felony injury to a child.

Canady was being held on $1,000 bond.

It's an amazing tale from several points of view. First, the asshole is
careless with his firearm. Second, his carelessness wounded two
bystanders, Third, he fled the scene. He ought to be in jail, but, of
course, it's Texas, it was in a Wal-Mart. A confluence of really stupid.

That's what happens when you walk around with one in the chamber.

Cops shot themselves all of the time.

The DC cops where shooting their legs and feet to pieces when they
switched to Glock's a number of years ago. The problem was bad training.
Don't put your finger on the trigger until you are ready to shoot. The
DC cops where putting their fingers on the trigger while the weapon was
still in the holster.

Do you have anything more than speculation? Some semis have safeties that
prevent firing unless switched off and the trigger pulled.

Carrying a loaded and cocked semi-automatic is dangerous business no
matter how you do it. Better to carry a revolver or
double-action-only.
