It should be automatic that if you accidentally discharge a firearm you lose your right to have or use firearms.

Hard to argue that. You’ve proven without a doubt that you aren’t responsible enough.

Actually it nearly is always an automatic lose of ccw rights. So that means no concealed carry. He would have a record with the county so buying more guns would be up to them to approve.

Article says it was on his hip, but is kinda short on details. For the most part, prudence dictates that you use a holster for that sort of thing. And pretty much any commercially available holster is shrouding the trigger and simply isn't going to fire the gun because you bent over. There's something else going on here. I'm guessing it's probably negligence.

You never know when you might need a gun in a corn maze. If you get lost you can blast your way out.

Lots of retention holsters are actually known to be the cause of ND's. Serpas are one example. Leather holsters can also wear and pinch, which can catch the trigger when holstering or even while moving. The Wal-Mart nylon holsters are just as prone to do it as an old leather one. Pair that with a safety free Glock with a 4.5 lb trigger, yeah it's pretty easy.

And if it's a revolver rather than an automatic, then a transferrable penalty that sort of goes around from offender to offender

Th only thing that can stop a bad piece of corn with a gun is a good piece of corn with a gun. It’s too bad there wasn’t a good one around.
You can laugh at this, but it has a kernel of truth.

He doesn’t have time for movies, Fox News has a banner that says BREAKING NEWS. Don’t change that channel, a new transgender M&M is threatening America.

Those corn pits are for little kids, to me it's weird he was even it it. (It was reported that it was full of kids when he was in it and one family saw the gun and got the hell out of there) They're also disgusting! We were there later that afternoon and knew nothing about it.

Makes sense. I remember that now about leather. I always liked the look of a nice leather holster.
I suppose it could be a manufacturers defect. But maybe also neglect on his part leading to the holster failing.
Either way it'll be interesting to find out.

I'm not going to lie. I keep reading the headline over and over and over. Does anyone else have a vivid picture in their brain of the exact person who did this without looking at the article? Please tell me I'm not alone?

Play stupid game (taking a loaded gun with safety off / not working and not locked away to a corn maze)
Win stupid appropriate prize (shooting yourself)

Seems fair.
Also if you are deemed to have 'armed' yourself with it at anytime in a public place when there wasn't immediate risk to yourself or others*
*Actually that should be prison time

Shouldn't be allowed to have it. The fact that you can walk around with a weapon on a hair trigger is fucking insane. But I suppose the selfish don't give two fucks what innocents they may kill because fReDuM Murika yeah!

There are NO "accidentally " discharged firearms, you may have not MEANT to do it, but you caused the firing pin to strike the round which fires the bullet. These things don't just happen without careless actions. Remember that a gun is ALWAYS loaded, unless I have double checked and the chamber is open with no rounds IN the weapon... I am glad he did this to himself rather than another person. A VERY STRONG learning lesson for him.
