Sorry, but I think this is funny. Maybe the cat was getting even! LOL! Now watch some a.shole try to get a billed passed banning cats in Michigan because of that moron's stupidity. Maybe after a few hunting accidents, Wisconsin will rethink their proposal to shoot cats.

The guy actually should be charged with something -- I don't know what -- extreme stupidity? Cat endangerment? Who leaves a loaded piece on the counter while they're cooking? I wouldn't admit this anywhere but this group, but the initial, first thought that popped into my brain was "I'm glad the cat wasn't shot."

Dropping a 9mm handgun will not make it go off. Maybe a revolver with the trigger guard removed and a hair-trigger, but not a 9 mm. He either shot himself or his girlfriend shot him when she caught him boffing somebody else. The cat is innocent! The man is stupid!! The press may have fell for it because it was a catchy headline and a slow news day, but the police won't buy it for a second! Hugs, CatNipped Why does such a person feel the need to have a loaded gun beside them whilst they cook dinner? Serves him right for being so stupid. An innocent passerby could have copped it instead. Or more importantly - a cat! sarah > Why does such a person feel the need to have a loaded gun beside them whilst > they cook dinner? Extremely rare meat? :) > Serves him right for being so stupid.

Almost all 9mm's have at least 2 and sometimes 4 independent safeties to keep that from happening. Modern (post 1900) semi-auto's always have a hammer blocking device that keeps the firing pin from from being struck unless the trigger is pulled.Most also have a pin disconnect to keep the firing pin from hitting the primer even if the hammer block fails. Add in a manual safety that must be operated by the shooter, and a Colt 1911 style grip safety, and the gun will NOT fire unless someone is holding the gun normally, flips off the safety, and pulls the trigger. The cat obviously picked up the gun, aimed "center of mass" at the guy, and squeezed off a round. A clear cut case of "intent to kill". The cat should be behind bars. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go change to combination on my gun safe, and cook up a shrimp dinner for "TK" . |
