There is a reason that police here in North America have to fill out a report whenever they draw their sidearm -- it's to make them think before they do something like this. All the same, it is kind of borderline...

Definitely Keep: Other
Gun accidents are real common but this one is bizaar enough, that I feel it's worthy of an award. However I can't agree with giving it one without a link to a verifiable source of the news. Please resubmit with a link.

It's funnier than your normal gun accident! Would like a verifiable source though!
