10:38 am - 07/25/2012
A licensed concealed handgun owner from Waco, Texas hurt more than his pride on Monday when his weapon accidentally discharged while he was reaching for his wallet at a Dallas Walmart store.
Police said that Todd Canady, 23, was in the checkout line when he fired the pistol he was carrying inside his pants.
“The bullet struck Canady in the buttock, then ricochet on the floor and broke into pieces,” KDFW reported. Two children and a woman were also wounded when they were struck by bullet fragments.
Other reports indicated that the bullet grazed Canady’s leg he when dropped the Springfield .40-caliber semi-automatic pistol. Shards of concrete from the floor were said to have caused the wounds to the woman and children.
Although injured, the suspect allegedly ran from the store when he was confronted by an off-duty officer.
After catching up with Canady, officers determined that he had a valid concealed carry permit, but charged with evading arrest. He may also be charged with felony injury to a child.
Canady was being held on $1,000 bond.

Epic fail.
A little common sense, people.
(Seriously though, how fucking stupid can you get? I'd be laughing my own arse off if it weren't for the fact that this assface's actions hurt two kids and a woman.)
I hope his injured victims sue.
I hope they get this guy for injuring those kids and that lady.
Also please ban chainsaws and knifes.
I haven't even gotten a chance to go to CVS to buy some munchies. :(
