Another day, another moron who doesn't know basic firearms safety
A 29-year-old man shopping at the store was putting his wallet back into his pocket when a handgun also in the pocket discharged, Pussehl said.
The man suffered a non-life-threatening wound to his leg. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. No one else was injured.

(69,971 posts)If one doesn't know firearm safety, one definitely deserves to get something shot off. If one thinks one needs a gun to go shopping at Victoria Secret, one not only deserves to get something shot off, one should probably also take a good long look in the mirror and try to figure out where one's life went off the rails.
He could have injured or killed someone else with his boneheaded jackassery. He should consider the self-inflicted ass-kicking a blessing. I can't think of any situation in which my sympathies will be with a shit-for-brains gun-nut.

Seriously, Victoria Secret employees and customers were lucky no one else was injured by this bozo's stupidity.
