Flossie Mae Bell, 70, told police she was waiting to cash out Friday afternoon at the Springfield Supperette, 1701 Pearl St., when the man in front of her dropped a leather pouch and she felt a pain in her legs. A store worker said he heard a loud pop like a firecracker.
He seems to lack a tremendous amount of common sense.Monlyn told police he got the .25 caliber derringer pistol for protection and had never carried it in public before. He said he didn't know he needed a permit, according to a police report.
perhaps just a tad more chlorine in the gene pool........
ehhh those lil deringers should only be carried at the poker table...:big_boss:

As with most other firearms, they're perfectly safe *if* people avoid pulling the trigger if they intend to shoot, and avoid dropping the gun itself, particularly when it doesn't have a trigger guard. Link Removed will retain the weapon and facilitate a clean draw.
No firearm should be carried in anything not meant to carry a firearm. Doing so is asking for trouble.
So can these Derringers go off if the hammer is smacked hard enough, or could this guy have possibly been carrying it cocked?
