GONZALES - Gonzales Police say they were dispatched to Cabela's Thursday afternoon after an employee shot himself in the hand while showing a handgun to a customer.
Investigators say the .22 caliber fired, sending a bullet through his palm and into the floor. He was treated at the hospital and is said to be in "stable" condition.
We contacted Cabela's in Gonzales who told us they would not be commenting on the situation. Calls to Cabela's corporate media relations office were not returned.
No one else was injured.

Not really surprised. Most of the dudes at Cabelas there (from my experience) don't know much.

How does a live round make it to the counter?

1. Always Keep The Muzzle Pointed In A Safe Direction
2. Firearms Should Be Unloaded When Not Actually In Use

I'm guessing you don't teach gun safety at Cabela's?

This. There is no reason for that gun to be loaded.

Damn that's why all those fire trucks were there this afternoon.

Was the customer asking him how to load it or something?

Question that probably won't get answered.

How does that even happen? IMHO, the dude deserved it if he is dicking off like a moron

I hope they get how the live ammunition got into the gun on video

Luckily it was the dumbasses own hand and not someone's head.

Exactly what the higher ups are thinking right now.

Wrong in sooooo many ways.

I used to work there in high school. They've got a better surveillance system than the frickin White House. Trust me, they've got it on tape.
Was browsing the other day. Heard a guy telling a lady that a glock was the best gun she could buy. Apparently they don't teach the employees shite.

Not only should live ammo not be in the gun, but he also had to have pulled the trigger with his hand in front of the barrel.

Maybe he was seeing if a gun-mounted laser was working and how much it moved with the trigger being pulled.
