I just heard onKSL radio station that a man at the SL Airpot was checking in at the curb with a SkyCap guy and when he took it out to show the SkyCap his gun before he checked it in, the gun owner accidently drops his Handgun. When hitting the ground it made the gun discharge. They said it was a semi-auto handgun (I am interested to know what kind of gun it was.) The bullet it the pavement then bounced up and hit the SkyCap in the foot. The reporter said it was ruled and accident but might be charged with having a "round in the chamber." No mention if he was a CFP holder, but if he is then he can not be charged with anything, this goes to show you that reporters no longer investigate the story they just repeat what the police might have told him.
Note: To all reponsible gun owners when handing over your firearm to someone (especially) some you do not know, 1st make sure you drop the mag (which this guy did) then check and double check to see if there is one in the pipe! I would suggest to do this in your car before you get out in public (especially at an Airport.)
Sorry, that is all the infomation I have about this story from the radio, if you see something online please post a link.
