OK seriously, two depressing news story threads, in a single day. We need something a little more upbeat, or at the very least really, really, funny.

Standard Examiner said:
CENTERVILLE, Utah (AP) -- The man escaped with a few cuts to his arm, but the toilet made out much worse.

Police say a man's gun fell out of its holster while he pulled up his pants after using the bathroom at a Carl's Jr. restaurant. The gun fired when it hit the floor and shattered the commode.

A few shards of porcelain hit and cut the man's arm. A woman in an adjacent restroom reported chest pain after she was scared by the shot. Both people were checked at the scene and released.

Police say they confiscated the 26-year-old man's firearm while they review the Tuesday incident. The man had a concealed weapons permit. No charges are being filed.
People have the right to carry a weapon... Whether or not they have intelligence to handle it safely is another question all together.

Salt Lake Tribune said:
Police said the accident would have been prevented if the man had used a more secure holster.

"A good-quality firearm also should not fire if it is dropped," Child said.
The pistol has been taken into custody for further investigation of violent crimes against toilets committed by rogue firearms.

You're supposed to make toilets out of porcelain and plastic, not Plaxico.

They have to investigate; right now they have nothing to go on.

The world is ending... police investigating a shot toilet? :laugh::laugh:
that toilet could have committed more crimes. like clogging and causing large amount of water damage to the store. they could be gathering evidence to put it somewhere like the LA garbage dump. and as every one knows the LA garbage dump is the place where all the really bad garbage goes.

It's not the fact that he brought the gun with him to the place.

Why is the bullet loaded in it?

You can carry around guns with ammo (Legally if you have a license), but you don't load the first bullet
