“The Albuquerque theater negligent discharge incident has some very instructive lessons for those of us rational enough to pick them out. This case, making the unfounded assumption that the media reports are correct, concerns a man who had his revolver slip out of his pocket during a movie, hit the floor and discharge, striking a woman in the foot. Of course, this has the hoplophobes wriggling with scarcely-concealed glee. They see it as an opportunity to further criminalize guns and gun owners. Even the police are calling the shooting ‘accidental’ yet are charging the man in connection with the shooting.” (01/18/10)
