(AP) PHILADELPHIA - Investigators say a flight attendant forgot to take a gun out of her purse before leaving for work and the gun fired at Philadelphia International Airport as a police officer was trying to remove the bullets.

Philadelphia police Lt. Ray Evers says Transportation Security Administration officers noticed the gun Sunday and alerted police. Evers says a police officer tried to make the weapon safe by removing the bullets, but instead accidentally fired it. No one was hurt.

Investigators say the flight attendant has a valid gun permit. She has been cited for passing the gun through a security checkpoint. ................(more)

1. Guns!

The Delicate Flowers in the DU Gun Lobby assure us that gun owners are all super-responsible and that guns are safer than unicorns that fart rainbows. I wonder why this happened.

3. I know, that's was certainly a WTF moment...

Police officer: oops! my bad, I had my finger on the trigger!

4. Sounds like the police officer needs a

firearms safety refresher lesson. That said, when presented with a firearm that's unfamiliar to me, I might not know immediately how to unload it. If I didn't, I'd have someone else unload it who did know. Still, the firearm should not have been discharged, regardless. The officer had his finger on the trigger. That's not part of the unloading process for any firearm I've ever seen.

5. guess that depends on one's definition of unloads

7. Well, certainly he unloaded that particular round,

after which it was inert.

6. No, it says the gun fired.

Technology is getting really dangerous when the government allows self firing guns to be manufactured and sold.
