Woman shot in the butt with .45 at Bass Pro Shop

Post by Chasbo00 »

Well, here's an odd one -- watch out for those negligent discharges...

"A Chino Hills man who brought six guns to test fire at Bass Pro Shops accidentally shot a woman in the buttocks inside the store Sunday.

The 52-year-old man, whose name wasn't released, was checking in the weapons at the front desk when he noticed one of the guns had the hammer cocked. He reached for the .45-caliber weapon and it fired.

"(The bullet) exited through the bag, traveled about 40 yards away and hit a female shopper in the left side of her bottom," said San Bernardino County sheriff's spokeswoman Tracy Dorsey.

The round penetrated the woman's clothing and gave her a minor wound, but didn't penetrate. The round fell to the floor."

Oh yeah, unfortunately this happened at our Rancho Cucamonga Store. I found out about it last week and it's true.

Hit in the ass at 40 yards by a .45 and it pretty much bounced off? That must be one tough tushy.

Yup, that and exercise...note the spandex helps too...I bet that butt looks like 2 big bulldogs fighting each other in a burlap sack when that person walks down the street... :hysterical:

Wait for it. A change in store policy is likely to follow.

This is a fine example of a failure to follow basic firearms safety, specifically #1 and #3.
Customers who bring weapons to the store are required to check them in at the front desk, where an employee places the firearm in a metal box to make sure it's not loaded. They put a gun lock on the gun before a customer is allowed to bring it to the range, or to carry around the store to shop for gun accessories.
Even with all those "safety" policies, the booger hook still found the bang switch.

As an aside, I have to ask how Bass Pro Shop ensures its employees know how to clear every type of firearm that comes in the door?

I would love to see this metal box that determines if a gun is loaded or not. I thought only people did that.
