I believe that is a common scenario.philip964 wrote: or was the trigger pulled and this is a better story to tell police.
I also believe most cases we hear of dropped handguns firing are actually cases where someone reached out and frantically tried to catch the gun before it fell, thereby inserting the booger hook into the bang switch. If someone is dropping a gun, just let it fall to the floor and then safely pick it up. Trying to catch it risks getting someone shot.
