[Ian David]

QUINCY, Mass. -- Police in Quincy said a woman was struck in the hand by a bullet fired from a gun in the apartment above the one she was visiting.

<snip>

Police said the gun belonged to Christopher King, 26, who works for an armored car company. His roommate, Joshua Perry, was handling it early Saturday morning when it discharged into the floor and struck Tiffany Flaherty. She described the experience as "awful."

Perry is charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, unlawful possession of a firearm and firing a gun within 500 feet of a dwelling.

King is charged with improper use of a firearm.

1. more irresponsibility on the part of a licensed gun-owner

[slackmaster]

2. So, licensing doesn't make people stop being stupid

Imagine that.

[DrDan]

4. actually, imagined quite easily

[slackmaster]

5. I see acts of potentially lethal stupidity committed by licensed motor vehicle drivers every day

:hi:

[DrDan]

9. plenty of that around . . . . but seeing as this is a gun forum . . . . I was focussing my comments

to licensed gun-owner stupidity.

12. Armored car employee, not licensed gun owner

I suppose you call a cop a licensed gun owner.

Talk about stupidity, or dishonest, you call it.

[DrDan]

17. he has to be licensed does he not?

[gejohnston]

20. Good question. Would have to check with Mass law and what company he worked for

the gun is most likely property of the company. I would not be surprised that his work gun is stored in the company's armory when not in use.

[rl6214]

21. Is a cop a licensed gun owner?

They both carry a gun for their jobs.

[DrDan]

24. in Florida they must be certified and pass qualification requirements for each firearm issued

and that is an annual requirement including classroom training.

So I would answer "yes" to your question

[rl6214]

26. That is totally different than a non LEO gun owner and you know it

Be honest for a change. So since this armored car driver is another example of an irresponsible gun owner, I in your mind cops are irresponsible gun owners also.

Got it. You hate cops and don't want them to have guns either.

[DrDan]

27. oh, get real

are you suggesting he was responsible in his behavior?

I'll even offer a hint - he was charged with improper use.

[DrDan]

32. and. . . who brought up the whole "cop" thing? you did, not me

I do not "hate" cops, never have. Why make up crap? I think their guns are absolutely necessary? Have never called for them to be taken away? Where do you get these assertions? I was simply responding to your question about licensing.

Good Heavens!

[rl6214]

11. Licensed gun owner?

Armored car employee.

Where the hell do you get licensed gun-owner out of the article. Be honest.

[slackmaster]

14. It's a reasonable assumption for a resident of the Massachusetts

http://www.bradycampaign.org/stategunlaws/scorecard/MA

[rl6214]

15. Would a cop be called a licensed gun owner?

[lawodevolution]

30. and shows that forcing all gun owners to have a permit does nothing

but is a violation of the constitution.

31. so you think their behavior was responsible - gotcha

and if you were honest, you would admit that I have only criticized their behavior. So your claim of "hate" is simply over the line.

3. If she'd just had an AK47, she never would have been hit.

;-)

[gejohnston]

6. I can't wait to hear how you came to that conclusion

[valerief]

7. Isn't it swell that sooooo many guns are soooo handy to sooooo many people soooo often?

I feel safer.

[rl6214]

13. Yeah, he carries it for his job.

Are you going to whine about soooo many guns that are sooo handy to sooo many cops out there trying to do their jobs.

Talk about dishonesty.

[ergot]

22. Let's disarm the cops while we're at it, right?

Or were you just making a really shitty joke?

[gejohnston]

8. In other news,

State police have identified a masked intruder who was fatally shot in a Hunlock Creek home invasion Tuesday.

Robert Muntz, 44, of Sweet Valley, was killed at 59 Old Tavern Road, said Trooper Tom Kelly, spokesman for state police at Wyoming. In March 2009, Muntz was one of 22 charged in connection with a drug ring allegedly operated by the Outlaws Motorcycle Club.

16. one gangster shot another gangster. So?

[gejohnston]

18. Where does it say the female occupant was a gangster?

It does not. It does not identify the victim as anything. It only identifies the dead guy as a gangster. How did you come to that conclusion? Or are you assuming all gun owners or right wing lunatics and gangsters?

[rl6214]

10. I guess armored car employees aren't professional enough

to carry a gun.

19. That's what one gets for living in apartments...

[valerief]

23. That must be the takeaway from all this. Nothing to do with guns. nt

[gejohnston]

25. more about gun safety than gun policy.

[valerief]

28. More about guns than apartments, too. nt

33. "Well I ain't never seen a handgun that big before!"

"Yeah, it's a fifty caliber. They used to use it to hunt buffalo with... up close. It's only legal in two states- and this isn't one of them."

"You're something else, Slim,"

[gejohnston]

34. 500 Maximum? That's not a gun

This is a gun
