Can't find the writeup, however.

Do you know personally of this or is the story second hand?
I heard the same thing, but the story differed slightly. The Negligent Discharge happend in an armory upon placing the (loaded, against good procedure) gun on a post and it was a 1911 pattern gun WITHOUT a grip safety, which would have prevented this.
Not saying it couldn't happen; I'm sure it could. Not saying it didn't happen. I just wish I had place, time, name and references.
