From the cited article...

...A man in Brazil who was accidentally shot by his own gun while accompanying his mother to an MRI exam has succumbed to his injuries, according to an update from CNN Brazil.

On Jan. 16, lawyer Leandro Mathias de Novaes was wearing a registered firearm on his waistband while assisting his mother in the MRI suite when the scanner's powerful magnet pulled the gun away from his body. The gun subsequently discharged and shot the 40-year-old lawyer in his stomach, landing him in an intensive care unit until Feb. 6, when he passed away. ...

My first question would be along the lines of.... why would he think he needs to have a gun while helping his mother during hospital tests?

@#24 ... Better question might be why did the inanimate object decide to shoot him? A magnet is not going to flip the safety off and pull the trigger.....

Your comment presumes the safety was enabled.

I remain to be convinced that is a valid assumption.

I mean, really, if someone has carried a gun into a hospital, why would one think that the safety is enabled?

... into a hospital. ...

This is the person that Gov DeSantis does not want to have attend his rallies.

Let that sink in....

@#27 ... so I'm not sure what the process is. ...

Good point.

My presumption is along the lines of "safety first."

Especially when entering a hospital.

I do realize that my views of gun safety may not be seen as appropriate by some of the folk who carry guns, because safety may not be the first thing in their mind.
