Law-abiding gun owners everywhere right now:
According to this, an off-duty FBI agent accidentally shot someone while busting a move at a Denver nightclub. He, inexplicably, decided to do a back handspring with a ready-to-fire gun in his waistband holster. The gun fell out, and he scrambled to pick it up. In the process, he accidentally pulled the trigger, shooting a man in the leg. Thankfully, he’s expected to be OK.
The shooting happened at Mile High Spirits at 2201 Lawrence St. at around 1 a.m. Saturday.
The victim was taken to the hospital and is expected to be OK.
The FBI agent was questioned at Denver Police Headquarters before being released to an FBI supervisor.
Denver Police’s homicide unit is handling the investigation, and charges will be determined by the Denver District Attorney’s Office.

Picks it up and accidentally discharges his weapon, hitting another person in the leg.
Not a gun issue.
Irresponsible idiot issue.— Due# (@JDue51) June 3, 2018
Moral of the story: Don’t bust a move with a loaded gun in your pants.
