The couple were making a purchase at a grocery store in Land O’Lakes, Florida, when the wife’s gun accidentally when off, striking her husband with a bullet.

A Florida man out shopping with his wife suffered a gunshot wound when the firearm in her purse accidentally went off.

“The gun was located inside the wife's purse and a hole was discovered in the side of the purse. The victim is in stable condition and no criminal charges are expected.” The incident, which also took place in Pasco County, occurred in the Thomas E. Weightman Middle School in Wesley Chapel at around 12:40 p.m. on May 1, the sheriff's office said.

An investigation into what happened is underway and the officer is temporarily reassigned while this takes place. Police arrested Ryan Rawson Montgomery, 40, who claimed he was playing with the gun when it went off accidentally.

Women have been carrying guns in bags for decades. Mostly single action autos which are the type most likely to do this. Double action, striker fired or revolvers are much safer.

There were quite a few guns around in the 90’s that would discharge when dropped, I used to refer to them as “drop and pops”.

Florida!

Fairly certain there’s many more cases of permitted concealed weapons stopping those with intent to cause harm than there are cases of them accidentally causing harm. Would be a good contrast to include these cases but totally understand they don’t follow your narrative

But those samiches though... worth it.

Sounds like she had a bad 'accident'
