Why is it always something happening in Wal-Mart? Glad no one was hurt though |

Quoted:
This is a new one on me never heard of it before " improper exhibition of a firearm " "Blanchard said Johnson had a concealed weapon and holster that fell to the floor from its place of concealment, causing the gun to fire." From what little information the article provided that charge certainly does not seem appropriate. |

Quoted: This is a new one on me never heard of it before " improper exhibition of a firearm " http://www.floridafirearmslaw.com/Improper-Exhibition-Firearm-Weapon.html I think they'll have a very hard time making it stick unless there's more to the story than what's reported in the article.

I agree with that, doesn't seem to fit the definitions of that charge. |

I agree with that, doesn't seem to fit the definitions of that charge. "This statute is officially titled as "improper exhibition of dangerous weapons or firearms", and the statute states that "if any person having or carrying any . . . weapon shall, in the presence of one or more (other) persons, exhibit the same in a rude, careless, angry or threatening manner, not in necessary self defense, the person so offending shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree". |

I missed the careless part, although that is a very subjective word. Did they charge the DEA agent that shot himself with the glock with this charge? |

I don't know that he was charged with anything, but he did lose his job.
