Police said an Iowa man was arrested after his concealed weapon
accidentally fired while he was shopping at Wal-Mart.

Officers said Christopher William Strube, of Centerville, was shopping
Sunday afternoon when the .45-caliber handgun fired from his pants
pocket.

Why the hero bit? Sounds like a bit of stupid to me. That would never happen in a union store.

Here's a better story:

"A Mississippi man was awoken by the sounds of his small dog alerting him to the presence of an
intruder on the back porch. The homeowner grabbed his shotgun and stepped from his bedroom into the
kitchen, according to the Lawrence County Sheriff. The intruder entered the back door only to meet a
fatal shotgun blast that sent him back outside, still clutching his burglary tools. A pickup truck
fled the scene, and deputies are seeking information that will lead to an arrest of the accomplice.
