Help me figure out how this happened

ummm lets seeeeeeee,,,,

i believe my friend summed it up well

"momma says stupid is as stupid does".


the only way for the revolver to fire itself, would require it to be cocked in his pocket, or he was using something without a transfer bar system, and was carrying pin down on a live cartridge.
 
I am not sure that I buy into the whole issue that this is beer-related. There are plenty of non beer-related NDs that go on across America that don't involved beer or medications.
 
I suppose it would be plausible that, had this individual been foolish enough to carry a NAA mini with the firing pin resting on a live round rather than in the safety notch that a blow from a bowling ball might be enough to discharge the revolver. As I said, however, he'd have to be pretty foolish to carry a NAA mini this way because use of the safety slots is clearly explained on page 3 of NAA's manual.

This is the first thing I thought of- NAA mini. Honestly, the only reason I read the manual was I was trying to figure out how to carry the thing with the hammer off of a round and found the hammer slipped into that little notch between two chambers. Looked it up and sure enough, that's what it was made for.

This guy on the west coast of the state didn't get a manual, but IMO, someone ought to be able to figure it out. Huge lawsuit:

So far there have been no follow-up stories on this, and I think we've gone about as far as we can with speculation. If anyone finds a new story with more information about how this happened, PM me and I'll reopen the thread.
