Woman sitting on toilet accidentally shot in leg

Posted: Jul. 10, 2009

TAMPA, Fla. - Authorities said a bullet from a gun that was accidentally

dropped injured a Tampa woman sitting in a bathroom stall. Police said the

bullet hit 53-year-old Janifer Bliss in the lower left leg. She was taken to

a hospital with minor injuries.

Bliss was sitting on the toilet in a hotel bathroom when a woman in the next

stall accidentally let her handgun slip out of her waist holster. The weapon

discharged when it hit the ground.

Police said the gun belonged to a 56-year-old woman who has a concealed

weapons permit.

The case has been referred to the State Attorney's Office to determine if

any charges will be filed.

It may well be BS.

A sound modern gun will not likely go off if dropped.  Maybe it was old,

cheap, or defective.  I think it more likely that she saw or felt it going,

grabbed at it, and was unfortunate enough to catch it by the trigger.



There was a case reported recently about a guy who dropped a Colt Pocket

Auto which discharged and killed him.  But that is an old design without the

safety features of even a 1911.
