my buddy and i were literally the closest people to the dealer who accidentally discharged a firearm around 4:30pm friday other than the customer he was showing the gun to. we were about 3 feet away from him.
he was showing off his personal carry weapon, a glock. dropped the mag out of and without checking the chamber, proceeded to show the customer how to take off the slide, pulled the trigger, and boom. the bullet grazed the fleshy part of his hand, creating about a half inch deep gash. the round hit the floor and came to rest in a toolbox belonging to the vendor behind him. had he had the gun in his left hand instead of his right, the bullet would have hit either me, my buddy, or his baby in a stroller right next to him.
My buddy actually watched him do it, I was looking down at an AK on his table. I think my buddys reaction was the best, went something like this
**AD happens, dealer sets gun down, presses his hand to his shirt, and looks around in embarassment**
buddy-"sir, you just shot yourself in the hand, I am an EMT, do you need me to help you?"
AD guy-"no....no...im fine...."
buddy-"actually sir, you just shot your hand, youre not fine"
then the cops came and everyone was herded out of the area, just glad nobody was hurt, especially me.
