The subject line is NOT my wording, but that of KPRC Channel 2, Houston
A traveler's gun accidentally discharged Monday at a ticket counter at Bush Intercontinental Airport, according to officials.
It happened around 2 p.m. Monday. Airport officials said a man was taking a weapon out of his bag at a Delta Airlines ticket counter at IAH's Terminal A to check it when the gun discharged.
Police responded to the scene.
No one was hit, and there were no injuries
When will the news realized, "guns dont discharge" --- by themselves?
Why didn't the person clear the gun (1) at Home (2) in the Car?

Because that would be victim blaming

I'm pretty sure it's because they don't want to be sued. A court hasn't found the traveler guilty of a a ND, so that person might have a case for damages against any media outlet that said they were guilty.

I usually clear my gun and lock it in my case in the Men's room at Bush airport when flying out.
When flying back in, I usually reload my gun and rearm in the Men's room.
