Yes, it can happen. Gun parts wear out. There's a reason Army trainees are told not to smack the butt of their rifles against the ground. A three or four foot drop can set off some weapons that are not well maintained, and that short a drop isn't even close to the kind of G-forces that a high speed turn or braking manoeuvre can generate. Also, a loaded weapon in plain sight and not in the possession of a person? What happens if you stop for gas and forget it's there? It's just a bad idea. I keep hearing about how gun owners are law abiding, yet here we have a case where someone is doing something that is illegal in many states and the response is to try to justify an action that is stupid and reckless.




You're comparing municipal gun control laws to regulations that law abiding gun owners must obey? One has to deal with rights, the other has to deal with safety.




I agree.
