Never use your gun's laser as a cat toy.

I hope the cat's all right. On another note, some people just shouldn't be allowed to own a laser sight.
Ah, yes. Those naughty guns. "It went off...."
Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag that bears a Single Star.
Wait.... whaaaaaaa? At which point did this guy have possession of the weapon (if we are to believe the story that SHE shot HIM)??The man, who was standing in a doorway, was shot in the thigh, authorities said. He left and went into another apartment, where police found him after responding to a 911 call, the Kenosha News reported.
....There’s no word on his condition, but authorities said he was facing charges for violating bond conditions that prevented him from having a weapon.
Well, then... of course! Every marginally competent gun owner knows that the presence / absence of a magazine in the gun is what determines the "loaded / unloaded" status.The woman told police she thought the magazine had been taken out of the gun and said it “accidentally went off,” according to the complaint.
And, of course (again), the damned things can just "accidentally go off!"

Surprise! Never would have guessed that.The woman, who a witness said had been drinking...
It was his gun - she picked it up
From the linked article:
A criminal complaint charging the 19-year-old woman with negligent use of a weapon said she was visiting a Kenosha apartment on Tuesday afternoon where a 21-year-old man had brought a handgun.
The woman, who a witness said had been drinking, picked up the handgun, “turned on the laser sight and was pointing it at the floor to get the cat to chase it,” when the gun went off, the complaint filed Thursday said.
....and some rin up hill and down dale, knapping the chucky stanes to pieces wi' hammers, like sae mony road-makers run daft - they say it is to see how the warld was made!
