A retired NYPD police officer should be so familiar with his gun that he should know better. But he was so interested in showing it to his doctor during an exam that he wasn’t careful. Maybe that’s the reason he brought it to his appointment in the first place, because he obviously didn’t fear his physician.
Anyway, once in the exam room he pulled his licenced 10 mm semi-automatic out of its holster, only to have it go off, hitting himself in the thigh and his doctor in the foot.
I have no idea what side of the gun-regulation issue this story falls on. I just found the situation curious.
