SAN ANTONIO(AP) This is one story they'll be telling around the San Antonio Police Department for a long time. An off-duty officer was at a San Antonio auto auction house yesterday when nature called, a police spokesman said.

Officer Craig Clancy strolled to the appropriate facility and was lowering his trousers when his pistol fell from his waistband. When Clancy fumbled for the falling firearm, it went off, twice.

One of the bullets nicked a bit of floor tile into the leg of a man who was washing his hands nearby. That man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Police internal affairs is investigating.

He must've shot it on purpose, it is a well known fact that the guns do not fire when falling to the floor, let alone twice

Something fishy about this story.

Sounds like it was written by the same guy who writes those "armed citizen" fictional accounts for the NRA rag.

well.... no matter what your wife tells you MT.. all the manly stuff in the "Rifleman" is gospel.. that is why she won't allow you to read it or hang out with guys who do.

as for juggling loaded semi autos of the glock persuasion... it is a very bad idea. In order to make glocks and the like even comparable to the nice letoff of single action semi autos or revolvers on single action.... they had to make em light on the trigger with a short trigger pull. For safty sake... they add this little toggle gizmo mini trigger thingie like you see on some of the cheaper power tools. It is in no way a "safety" so far as the fine sport of gun juggling goes.

LOL hes spraying the bathroom with his trouser at half mast, while juggling his gun which is spraying on its own.

bet MT never drops anything when he pi**es as his wife makes him sit down to do it.

she doesn't "make" him sit while he pees... they had a talk and came to an understanding on the matter.

this would be why I never plan to own anything without a manual, mechanical safety.

our police are highly trained in the handling of weapons, sort of.

In related news, i shoot at a police gun range that is open to the public. Went one day and there were a bunch of cops doing quals i think. they were in civies with their full gun belts, looked really odd seeing people in blue jeans, t-shirts and all that hardware.

The poor grammar used right there makes me suspicious as to whether or not this was written by a real journalist.
