I'm so glad people can bring guns into target. It makes me feel really safe.

Well, I mean, it is called Target.

Clearly more people need to be armed to stop the unresponsible ones. There is no other way.

in an ideal world, his gun license should be revoked for a. having a gun tucked into his waistband and not a secure holster or something similar and b. having it both loaded and with the safety off.
however, knowing MURICA he'll get to keep the gun and hailed as a hero by the NRA or some shit.

I'm sure he's responsible outside of this one mishap. Everyone makes mistakes.

Yet another reason to ban personal carry and limit guns.

And these are the guys who say they can face an evil goverment?
Good luck.
Good luck.
But what about that split second it takes to disengage the safety? Could get you killed you know, it's a nasty world out there and you got to be ready to throw lead at something at a moment's notice.
Target in Minnesota is actually posted no guns. So even if he had a valid concealed carry permit, it would be illegal to have it inside of Target.

OP title is misleading. It wasn't accidentally, it was negligently.

I feel like you guys already pretty much summarized the entire thread to be. We've got an appropriate target joke, an example of another incident with an idiot who shouldnt be allowed to own a gun, and snarky calls for more gun control.
Yup that just about covers it. Stop letting any random dumbass carry a gun.
If he used the weapon on that sensor that determines if you placed items in your bag at self checkout, I would allow it.
I've put the carton of milk down! Why do I need to pick it up again!?

Especially given how low violent crime is in that town, it's freaking Minnesota.

This is why there's no such thing as "responsible gun owners."
how the fuck do you screen for "random dumbassery"?
Ban guns.
And you don't grab at the damn thing while it's falling. Let it hit the floor and pick it up. If he thought it was going to fire when it hit the floor he needs to go back to gun 101.
I wish we had a zero tolerance policy for stuff like this. Slip up once? You're not responsible enough to carry a gun around in public. Sorry.

We're not living in a safe world anymore. With the threat of terrorism and/or shoplifting ever present, no one has time for safety, just heroism.
Zero tolerance doesn't bring back the life of the person who you just accidentally killed with your one slip up.

because freedoms
This is why safeties are useful.
There was that other thread where people were talking about how safeties are frowned upon by some gun owners and I was like...?????????????
Obviously to stop shoplifters.
And what if some terrorist walks into the store!?!? You always gotta be ready to defend 'Murica!!!11111111

Got to protect yourself from that scary produce in the store.
The consequences of a responsible gun owner accidentally being irresponsible once, for a fraction of a second, are so far removed from the reality of everyday responsible gun ownership. A single instance of irresponsibility can and often does kill someone. In my mind is ludicrous that anyone would balk at the idea of such a potentially dangerous machine being regulated and tracked.

Take his guns away and ban him from ever owning one again

In an ideal world people would not be bringing guns into public places.
