Link "Kontz said Initial reports are that Gable was cleaning the .45-caliber service revolver when it discharged. Protocol calls for weapons to be unloaded before cleaning begins, he said." One would certainly hope so. |

It is for the same reason that I get nervous in restaurant bathrooms when I see a sign that says "Employees must wash hands..." |

I'm not a gambling man, but I'd bet the .45 caliber in question is a Glock 21, which you have to press the trigger to disassemble. Not the gun's fault. Too bad he has to learn safe gun handling the hard way. I hope he wasn't seriously hurt and will receive appropriate remedial training. |

Well he did say "Service Revolver" but with today's journalists, who knows? |

I've seen the press make bigger mistakes than confusing types of pistols. |

Probably a semi auto service revolver.
