Has anyone heard about this? This is third or fourth hand knowledge, so take it with a grain of salt. I am only posting this to see if anyone else has heard of this incident.
SO: I have been told the following story from my dad, only a few hours ago.
My father's coworker visited the Bass Pro Shop nearest Richmond, Virginia (I forget the specific county where it's located). And he saw a guy draw his CCW carry piece and place it on the counter. APPARENTLY he was looking to trade it in.
This handgun was fully loaded with a round in the chamber.
At some point, this person, along with the salesperson he was talking to, walked down the display case, leaving the LOADED handgun laying on the counter.
And at this point, ANOTHER Bass Pro employee comes along and sees the handgun. Apparently he thinks this handgun belongs to the store, so he proceeds to install a trigger lock on the firearm.
And BOOM, it goes off, putting a round in the employee's leg.
...
Okay at this point, I want to mention, I am not claiming any veracity to this story. I will only say that I am not lying to you, and my dad is not lying to me, and he (my dad) heard this from a coworker who saw all of this happen. And apparently this happened over the weekend, either saturday or sunday.
I would think this would be important news, but I didn't see any of it posted in the local news websites.
I know many of you are residents of the Richmond area and must visit Green Top, De Goff's, BPS and Gander. Have any of you heard of this?
