Wow, getting tough there Indy SIG. Accident can imply a lack of liability. Punish someone even though they have no fault?

Pull his license for carrying a crappy pistol and a POS nylon holster? When I suggest carrying quality gear and getting an education, I'm denounced as a snob. Don't know how far that will get. People get upset when you even hint at elitism.

Besides, such a zero tolerance would get a lot of cops fired. A lot of cops' gun "accidently" go off. IPD offices have plenty of holes in ceilings. My favorite was 10-11 years ago when an IPD cop claimed a 9mm round fell to the floor and "went off." The bullet lodged in the ceiling (thank goodness).
