quote:

Dozens of customers were eating breakfast in a busy Cracker Barrel when a gun went off, sending people scrambling and one man to the hospital Sunday morning.

Bullet fragments hit three people, including the gun owner’s fiancé.
quote:

Deputies said the weapon fell out of the gun owner’s holster while he was walking through the dining room of the Cracker Barrel in Sanford.

Deputies said William Hoback was talking to the checkout counter when his gun slipped out of his holster and fired.

The bullet hit a kettle, which sent fragments flying.
quote:

After Hoback realized what had happened, he apologized and explained it was an accident.

Deputies agreed, so he was not charged.

I'm a gun owner and believe everyone has the right to protect themselves... but that guy is retarded.

Ah, No it wasn't!

Seems like a lot of details are left out of the story. How in the world does a pistol fall out a holster while you are just standing up? Also, what kind of gun it that went off from falling out of a holster?

I'm not saying I'm a proponent for gun control at all, but something has to be done to keep some of these idiots & lunatics from carrying a gun around.

As I've been told, unless that gun was made before the 1960's, there's no way that gun went off just by hitting the floor.

ETA: The title of that article is misleading as well.

Of course a opencarrytard wouldn't have his weapon holstered properly.

Probably Mexican carry.

They should let me decide who can and can't carry/own guns. Make me the sole judge of who gets a license. The world will be a much better place.
