I Gotcher Well Regulated Militia Right Here

From Centre Daily Times, via Charlie Pierce:

A 45-year-old man shot himself in the hand Tuesday afternoon in the parking lot outside Wal-Mart on North Atherton Street in what police are calling an accident.

Patton Township police are not identifying the man but said he had a valid firearm carry permit.

The man had the gun in a holster and was hurrying across the parking lot to avoid holding up traffic. The firearm fell out of the holster and fell to the ground as the man was crossing the lot.

Police said he went to pick the gun up, but while shifting the bags in his hands, the firearm went off. The man was shot in the hand, and the bullet then continued into the pavement.

The man was taken to Mount Nittany Medical Center for treatment. The parking lot was briefly closed while police investigated.

Ok, so we can't get background checks, and we can't get registration and we can't get any kind of ban on any kind of weapon that isn't fully automatic or that shoots exploding ammo.

But please - can't we at least put something in place that kinda sorta makes it a tiny bit harder for a booger-eatin' moron like this guy to carry a concealed handgun?
