guns and alcohol never a good mix.

 

[Ops]

if he didnt shoot himself theres more to the story.

He must have been handling it.

"...as he trying to get out of the backseat, a gun in his waistband went off, striking the driver, according to investigators."

I'm having a hard time visualizing how the driver was hit in the back and the leg. Now, if Mr. Tequila was slithering out of the back seat onto the pavement, with his hand inside his pants, well then sure....

Maybe he had one of the new shoulder holsters designed by AOC with the muzzle pointed forward.

If I plan on drinking, I often do not carry.
No point. Even if Im in the right, depending on the county and situation, Im effed and can get manslaughter or some random charge the DA (out to make a name for themself) wants to throw at me.

If you feel the need to carry and can maintain your composure and are willing to take the legal risk, thats your choice but also your responsibility.

But to get wasted and do what he did, I have zero pity for him. To be so drunk that you ND your driver is just ridiculous. No excuse, he deserves whatever punishment they give him.

I've had this argument here before.

Firearms and alcohol don't mix. Period.
Even just a beer.

Not worth it.

Police: Man shot Uber driver in Seattle's lower Queen Anne

The man who allegedly shot the driver told police he was getting out of the car when the gun went off accidentally. He had a valid conceal carry permit, but didn't have the gun in a holster, police said.

Maybe in a coat pocket with his keys or other junk?

Had no idea Plaxico Burres was in town...

Finally... new and creative twist on Glock-Leg.

 

[MrRob96]

Oh good Lord. I'm sure Uber now has a no firearms policy if they didn't have one before.

This one written in the blood drawn by some bubbleguming idiot.

 

[RVTECH]

He must have been handling it.

Exactly my thought. I'd say the '7 or 8 shots of Tequila' he had was only part of it.
Riding in the car, handling the gun in a drunken stupor and pulls the trigger.

"Ooops." ........................... "But I didn't mean to, I was just drunk!" ... I repeat... "Oooops".
