Man has gun in waistband with no holster and it starts to slide down his leg. In trying to stop it he apparently pulls trigger

Looks like he found the important reason why everyone else who carries in the waistband without a holster has an empty chamber.

I wish that the general public understood what a lead projectile does when it impacts a surface.
"The bullet then began to ricochet around the store, striking three other shoppers."
I think that this statement generally sums up what 95% of people think happens when a bullet hits a surface. The bullet can't really just start bouncing around off of the walls and going through people... but I guess if you're writing for a 4th grade reading level then it's easier to say that it just ricochets around instead of "after striking the floor, bullet fragments injured 3 others."

I made a run (probably 20 years ago) where a hispanic dude was carrying a 1911 at 12 O'clock and had a few beers on board. He was going to show off his gun and then we were called. Gristle all over the wall and the dude rolling around wishing he was dead. Transitioning the hard way I guess.
Both my partner and I felt the cringe in our groins.
