Oklahoma Concealed Carry Guy has Gun-Dropping Incident

Local news reports
A gun went off at a Tulsa hospital where the speeding bullet barely missed flammable medical equipment. Officers responded to a call at the hospital on Monday and learned a patient’s gun fell out of his jacket in the doctor’s room and fired. No one was hurt. 

"It's clearly a violation and you have to follow the rules,” said Tulsa Police Sergeant Kurt Dodd. Signs posted on the doors at St. John Medical Center warn patients they can’t bring a gun into St. John.  

"He stated he always carries his gun with him," said Dodd. A Derringer, small two-shot pistol with no trigger guard. 

During the St. John incident, police took away the man’s concealed carry license and sent it to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigations. OSBI will determine if his license will be revoked. Police did not arrest the man but the District Attorney could charge him with reckless handling of a firearm. That would require jail time and a fine up to $1,000. Oklahoma state law prohibits gun owners from carrying firearms concealed or openly into airports past TSA security, public meetings, schools, federal buildings, courthouses, college campuses, sporting events and bars. OSBI reports last year they issued 24,000 handgun licenses and less than 2% were revoked and only two were for recklessness.
How much you wanna bet his license is not revoked?  That's one way the keep the percentage down.  The other, the main one is that no one is checking if people who commit crimes have a concealed carry permit.  It just doesn't come up.

What's your opinion?  Please leave a comment.

  1. You whine all the time about how the police don't check. Here's an example of them checking. They even pulled his license for review. But instead of being pleased, you whine some more.

    1. You know what's gonna happen. It was only an accident, after all.

  2. After all, in a hospital, you never know if some criminal is going to come in and attempt to hijack the entire hospital and carry it off. It could happen. No doubt some fucking moron NRA guy (pardon my redundancy) is thinking that today.

    There is nothing as fucking stupid as a guy/girl with a gun. NRA people are morons. I pray the prayer of St Gunsel: May their wives/husbands, parents and children have a front row seat at the next massacre.

    1. Anonymous sounds like a typical gun-control freak to me, except that he's more honest. Or haven't you seen the wishes for my demise and the implied threats from some on that side here?

    2. Greg what defines a "typical gun-control freak"? Why do you equate other who (according to you) may bear this label, to a deranged anonymous troll, who prays for killings?

    3. Gun control freak: someone who wants to restrict the rights of good citizens to own and carry guns. A subset of control freaks generally.

      Democommie and Laci have both expressed their desire to see me killed by gunfire. Laci has said that he'd like to stand one centimeter away from my face with the goal of correcting what he sees as my errors.

      They are pretty easy to spot. They're the ones with urine stained pants. I think Laci/E.N. even went so far as to start wearing skirts in order to correct this.
