Gun goes off in Altoona church during Easter Vigil mass Police say a man accidentally shot himself in his hand at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament http://www.wtae.com/news/gun-goes-off-in-altoona-church-during-mass/32202174 My theory: It was a public service. The Vigil is a long liturgy, and the guy wanted to make sure everyone was awake for the drive home. [;)]

Idiot.

Police say a man had a gun in his pocket and it discharged when he stood up. The bullet grazed the man's hand. An Altoona newspaper reported the trigger caught on the man's pants and the gun's safety was not on. I'm having trouble seeing that. K.

On a revolver (which might not have a safety)? I could see a hammer, getting caught on someone's pants, causing an accidental dis-charge. Michael

I can't see that one either.

Michael I can't see that either unless the barrel would be pointed up. He would have to be pulling it out for that to be the case. The only way I could see what Kirata posted is if there was another object or objects in his pocket that pushed on the trigger when he stood up and his pants tightened up.....er maybe......with the safety off of course.

KenDckey -> RE: Gun goes off in Altoona church during Easter Vigil mass (4/6/2015 4:27:58 AM)
I browsed to see what they of gun was used. Some do not have trigger guards. Either way, the guy was an idiot.

FR How does one carry a gun in a pocket anyway? I thought they were much too heavy to do that for any real length of time.

Thus just putting pressure on the trigger wouldn't do it, unless he carried it cocked, in which case he was an accident waiting to happen.

Snagging the trigger wouldn't do anything unless it was cocked. (Cue Darwin) K.

I used to carry a .45 automatic in my hip pocket, only problem I ever had with it was that I had to carry a empty wallet in that pocket for when I sat down.
