It's all about the placement of her booger hook, and I bet I know exactly where it was. She doesn't have a case unless she winds up in a liberal court.

If you read the article, she holstered the weapon, then placed it in her purse, then shouldered said purse. While swinging the bag, it went off.

I wonder what kind of holster she allegedly had it in.

It appears she had one of those defective 320s. Ooops.

There you have it... She said the round came within one millimeter of killing her. There it is 10mm is more powerful that a 9mm

The real question focus should be her or her handlers ultimate agenda other than the money.
Although from the surface it sounds frivolous, but not if the case go before an activist DEMOCRAT judge or another in the appellate system.
Gun owners need to always be vigilant. There are a number of product liability lawsuits in certain states and although laws were passed to protect the firearm industry from lawsuits, laws never mattered much to DEMOCRATs.

I never purse carry.

You would think:
- Holstered in a Sig supplied holster.
- After placed in a purse.
Then a few steps away from her desk gun goes off.
That my friends is an airtight case of a manufacture's defect. She will win, and win bigtime.

Should have stuck with the Smith and Wesson in .38 Special.

My mom's deer rifle, a Ruger .44 semi-auto, went off one day when she placed it on her knee and slid the safety. We were outside target shooting prior to deer season. She sighted and fired. Nothing happened. She put it on her knee to pull the mag and eject the round that didn't fire.
We found out that Ruger was having issues with that particular rifle. It was rehabbed and continues to lead a clean life as it has been passed down to younger generations.
Sometimes firearms do go off when you don't pull the trigger. I do wonder though if she can prove it was holstered inside her purse? If it is one of the newer models that isn't supposed to have an issue did she have it in her purse out of the holster where the contents could have caused the discharge?

O.K. I believe she was shot but I just can't picture how it happened the way she described. I guess I would have to see the holster to maybe clear up my confusion. I do believe all the 320 models are striker fired and need a full pull of the trigger to finish cocking before they will fire. If this had been a single action carried cocked and there was a problem with the sear then I could understand it discharging. Sure is puzzling and she will probably win a few bucks whether she was at fault or not. Bob

My wife carries in her CCW designed purse, in the holster. She carries the P938 with external safety. There's a reason for that.

Yeah, I'm not seeing how a striker fired went off without trigger pull. But there was/is a recall on that model. supposedly her model was the post recall model.

From the article;
The company concluded that “a foreign object entered the trigger guard [causing] the pistol to discharge."

Yeah, I read that and that is why I said I would need to see the holster. If it is a full holster that covers the trigger guard how did something get in there to move the trigger? Was it a defective holster that perhaps caused the trigger to be pulled almost all the way when the gun was placed in it? Not enough information to come to any conclusions about the cause of the discharge. That is the problem with most news articles lacking in details. Bob

As part of any possible settlement, her department should agree that any gun she carries in the future must be inoperable.

shouldn't be a problem rocky, as any settlement will probubly be at least retirement size......

Our department had no light duty assignments,
Besides this type of lawsuit will bring out supervisor hate and she will never get a good job in the department again.
Seen that many, many times.

It is sad she was injured in any way for whatever occurred and I hope she recovers fully.......but
I am not trying to be a jerk here, but having worked around court houses most of my career, some plaintiffs and their attorneys are a little off in their memory and or representation of what exactly happened......

They need to treat her like Barney Fife. She only gets one bullet, but she can't put it in the gun, it stays in her shirt pocket.

Every single accidental discharge that I witnessed in practice, training, qualification, or on the street involved a female officer or deputy. Every one.

We had a number of "Indoors Shooters".
And they were evenly mixed between males and females.
Usually is was a career ending event, but not always.

Any holster should cover the trigger guard.
There are many purses designed to carry and conceal a handgun. The gun is kept segregated from any other purse contents that can cause a problem. Throwing a pistol, holstered or not, into a typical purse, is just foolish.
A man I know had a Walther PPK in his gym bag. Whether it was holstered, I don't know, and I don't believe there is a holster made that would have prevented this incident. He set the bag on the floor. (Maybe he dropped it; I don't know.) The pistol discharged and shot its owner in the calf of his leg. Forensic examination revealed the firing pin was out of spec,,,too long.
Walther wrote the man a rather large check.
