Smile Check your clothing.

What is it with Police Chiefs? The Chief of Police of Connersville, Indiana, just now accidently shot himself for the second time.

Last time it was in the hand; this time it's in the leg. He was in a gun shop and the incident is on video. He had pulled out his Glock service pistol and was returning it to its holster when the knob on a drawstring on the bottom of his jacket became entangled inside the trigger guard. He continued to push the gun into the holster against the heightened resistance and.....bang. Got him in the leg.

There have been other reports of people getting the knob on their jacket drawstring entangled with their pistol and having accidental discharges. Clothing problem; not pistol problem.
