Accidental Discharge in Sherman last night!

And no, it wasn't me. Luckily, no one was hurt.
A man at Johnny Carino's Tex-Italian restaraunt (and is a CHL holder) was putting on his jacket and getting ready to leave. I caught the tail end of the story on the radio this morning, so I might be a little foggy on the exact happenings. Either way, as he was putting on his jacket, either his gun fell to the floor, or his jacket containing the gun fell to the floor, and went off. No one was hit by the stray shot.
I call shenanigans, because I can't think of any modern handgun that will fire simply from being dropped on the floor. As a matter of fact, I dropped my XD one day in my apartment, and it was loaded. While the matter gave me a good look at heart stopping fear, nothing happened.
Either way, thought yall might be interested. I'll look for a link to a news story in a bit.
