SAN ANTONIO -- This is a story they'll be telling around the San Antonio Police Department for a long time.

A police spokesman said an off-duty officer was at a San Antonio auto auction house Wednesday when nature called.

Officer Craig Clancy strolled to the appropriate facility and was lowering his trousers when his pistol fell from his waistband. When Clancy fumbled for the falling firearm, it went off -- twice.

One of the bullets nicked a bit of floor tile into the leg of a man who was washing his hands nearby. That man was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.

Police internal affairs is investigating.

Very good article. It's certainly something no one expects to happen when they're on the can.

2. One very good reason not to carry a gun n/t

Hope the poor man is okay. That's the problem with weapons. Accidents can happen and this is a professional as well.

4. That's not a good reason to not carry a gun.

I've been involved with firearms and shooting sports for well over 30 years now and I can honestly say some of the most irresponsible idiots
I've seen have been "professional"/cops.
