Woman accidentally shoots self during handgun class

The Associated Press

FORT SPRING, W.Va. — A woman taking an advanced handgun class accidentally shot herself during a training session.

Michelle S. Cox, 50, of Alexandria, Va., shot herself in her upper left thigh with a 9mm semiautomatic handgun. Cox was taken to a local hospital after last week’s accident at a gun range in Fort Spring. Her condition was not immediately available but Greenbrier County sheriff’s Deputy Lt. B. E. Hosey said the injury was not life-threatening.

Hosey said Cox had pointed the gun at her body and had her finger on the trigger, a violation of several safety rules. But he said the shooting was accidental and no charges will be filed.

It takes stupidity to do that. If only for an instant.

My uncle Carl did that, once. Clean shot right though the leg.

He was just very lucky he was practicing his quck draw with his .22 instead of his Colt 45 Peace Maker.
