He took off his shoe and threw it at the bug to kill it, but a revolver he had hidden in the shoe fell to the ground...

This sounds suspiciously like a 9mm falling from a coffee table in a thread the long term members may remember.
How does one hide a gun in a shoe? Half a foot amputated leaving a “space”?

"Hit it with a vacuum cleaner and it fell off the coffee table" and it discharged....... damn XDs... something must be wrong with them.

I dropped one of these once and it fired when it landed on the hammer

Nah, man is embarrassed that he got taken out by a bug.

So, you carry your Super Blackhawk in your shoe. OK, that keeps it accessible.
But, you forget it is there and don't notice when throwing?

This story is almost reaching unbelievable.

Would like to hear more about this. I have two NAA .22s. I carry one in my boot. I always have both .22s in the safety position.

Wow, maybe they should have carried the 1980's story about a drunk guy walking up his stairs twirling a .357 Magnum, tripping over his cat and shooting himself in the lip... true story, I was at the hospital er that night. He tried to pass it off as a "fat lip" caused by tripping walking up his stairs, the powder burns on his face said otherwise. Only found out the truth when he was telling his brother who was a police officer and a nurse overheard it.
