If a gun accidently discharges elsewhere, why would it be wrong to assume it could happen in a restaurant? <BR/><BR/>CHARLOTTE, N.C.-- A gun carried by a US Airways pilot accidentally discharged during a flight from Denver to Charlotte Saturday, according to a statement released by the airline.--March 25, 2009<BR/><BR/>MELBOURNE, Fla. -- A child was hit by a bullet that was accidentally discharged from a gun inside of a Melbourne home.--Jan. 27, 2008<BR/><BR/>BENTON, Ark. -- For the time being, officials with the Saline County Sheriff's Department are not discussing an incident Monday which a deputy's firearm apparently discharged accidentally at the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) restaurant in Benton.<BR/><BR/>DALLAS — Three people were injured when a gun accidentally discharged during Rosh Hashanah services at Temple Emanu-El on Wednesday evening.--Sept. 2007Peter Romeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07180004898051387237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882680319427447111.post-77632777961343709152009-03-25T22:06:00.000-04:002009-03-25T22:06:00.000-04:00Congratulations.

With this kind of investigative journalism, perhaps you should tackle a new topic, like say people who drink alcohol in restaurants and then drive while intoxicated? I heard a rumor that some of these people have car crashes with innocent drivers, causing infinitely more carnage than legal guns in restaurants.paramedic70002https://www.blogger.com/profile/16327480284352727871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7882680319427447111.post-1266809495704813612009-03-24T14:56:00.000-04:002009-03-24T14:56:00.000-04:00And lets not forget the criminal that was not allo...And lets not forget the criminal that was not allowed by LAW to possess a firearm, in Winnemucca, Nevada last spring that killed several people with his ILLEGALLY POSSESSED gun, before being taken out by a concealed carry permit holder whom was carrying in a BAR LEGALLY.
