I wonder how many dropped gun incidents Mike does not report? As long as guns go off by simply dropping them, and hurt and kill people, then dropping a gun needs stiffer punishments.

I've always included dropping a gun as part of the one-strike-you're-out policy. But it has to be documented which usually involves it firing. My idea is that the act of dropping it should be the focus of the law, not the damage done. Some of you bumbling gun owners are luckier than others, you drop your weapons and no one gets hurt. Others do the exact same clumsy behavior and a kid gets killed. We need to focus on the behavior not the results.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09806175370305006933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-88664680281301024502013-12-08T09:23:49.540+01:002013-12-08T09:23:49.540+01:00Actually Anon, there have been many improvements ...Actually Anon, there have been many improvements to modern handguns. Most if not all revolvers and pistols now have a firing pin block designed to prevent it from discharging when dropped. Of course, that doesn't prevent foolish acts. ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-61209677791779603252013-12-08T07:44:59.452+01:002013-12-08T07:44:59.452+01:00Once a kid in our company simply dropped a box he ...Once a kid in our company simply dropped a box he was carrying, and broke it open. The box had dangerous acid inside it, the kid knew that. It didn't kill anyone, but sent 12 people to the hospital. The kid was fired and I doubt he will get another job handling anything more than rubber bands. <br />Some things are more dangerous to drop, than others; and punishment reflects the danger of what you were in charge of handling. <br />I keep hearing that today's guns will not go off by simply dropping them, but I keep reading stories, how they do. <br />Make a gun that WILL NOT go off when it is dropped, and I will accept less punishment for dropping a gun. Otherwise the stiffest punishment possible is designed to teach a lesson.
