PPD shoots man in leg w/man's gun while attempting to disarm him

[middlefinger]

.

saw a video of a rancher that carried 1911 cocked in a holster and fell and hit the hammer on something causing it to go off and shoot his leg.

he had surgery with multiple screws and plates installed

Sort of hard to deny having a gun after you've shot a dog

Yeah but he went home 1st then came out and flagged down a cop. Should have unloaded 1st, called the cops from home or went about his business as if nothing happened

If he was a white cop it just means he missed because he wanted to kill the black guy. Philadelphia Enquirer reporter's story.

I believe that I'd have just gone home and called it a day.

This is a PSA for why it's stupid to carry condition 0.

More like a psa on why you should never invite the man into your life.

Nah, it was probably a Glock, but this might be the first instance of someone giving someone else Glock leg.

1) The citizen following the book after discharging his weapon?

OR

2) The responding PPD officer?

Police say the 62-year-old man was walking his dog on a leash near 20th and Chew Streets when two loose dogs approached and began to attack his dog.

The man attempted to break the dogs up and pull his dog away before pulling out a 9mm handgun he was licensed to carry. He fired twice, killing the larger of the two dogs.

The second dog ran from the scene down a nearby alleyway.

Police say the man then walked his dog home and put him inside. Then, he walked to 21st and Conlyn Streets where he saw a uniformed Philadelphia police officer.

He proceeded to inform the officer that he had just fired his weapon at a dog around the corner and that his gun was holstered on his side.

At that time, police say the officer informed the man that he would have to secure his firearm. The man placed his hands over his head so the officer could access the gun.

Philadelphia police say that while the officer was attempting to remove the man’s gun, he accidentally fired it. The man was shot in the right leg and the officer immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital where he was placed in stable condition.
