If you're going to the doctor's office, leave your CCW in the car.

Two important questions:

What magazines were laying on the coffee table nearby?

What caliber was his XD?

Can't believe it took 7 posts.....

They were talking about it on 102.3 radio here in Tulsa this afternoon, haven't seen anything on the News sites yet.

What I read was it was a derringer with no trigger guard, carried in his jacket pocket. That had bad idea written all over it.

"A Derringer, small two-shot pistol with no trigger guard. Officers said when it fell out of the 72-year-old man’s jacket in the doctor’s office the gun went off."

Link to story on Fox23... but I kept getting distracted by the cute pic of Abbie Alford. Damn, she's adorable.

I've got one of those Davis derringers with no trigger guard. It takes vise grips to pull that trigger. Plus there is a crossbar safety on it that won't allow the hammer to fall IF the safety is on.

Dodd said the man didn't say why he brought the gun into the hospital.

"I can't think of many reasons people bring guns into a hospital,” said Dodd.

Instead, police said gun owners should leave it at home or in their car.

. Really ?
Then whom is going to escort me to and from the hospital?

+1 - Most hospitals are not located in the best of areas. You tend to keep your trama centers closely located to where the most trama injuries occur.

I heard secondhand that charges were pending? Could be wrong though.
