But what they don't tell you is that the bed was resisting a rest.

We can't take this lying down.
Wake up sheeple!
"A member suggests the absence of a quorum, the clerk will call the roll. Non-verbal responses only so this doesn't get annoying to transcribe."
"Thank you. Sheeple 1, Sheeple 2, Sheeple 3... Sheeple... ..."

Eagan Police were called shortly before 6:30 p.m, and collected Shaver’s firearm and ammunition, but made no arrest and pursued no criminal charges.
Surprising no one. If it had been just a member of the public, I'm sure the same would have happened, right?
Honestly kinda surprised they took the gun tbh
That is actually funny.
They would have been charged with a felony of discharging a firearm with other people in the building.
Even for an accidental discharge?
*neglegent discharge
Hotel operators should take notice. I would not stay at a chain that accepts armed idiots who might accidentally shoot me to death in my sleep.
~~Hotel operators~~
Customers.
Hotel owners will take money. If customers still pay, owners still rent. If no money comes in, owners say "Why no money? Money me now!"
Accidentally? There is a good chance they could purposefully shoot you to death while you sleep. Or whilst you are awake.
We in the CAF call this a "negligent discharge". It gets you charged.
In ICE it gets you a medal, the Purple Shart.
Simpsons did it.
Is nobody asking how you could shoot through a wall in a hotel with a sidearm? I mean, how thin can these hotel walls be? Would you not hear your neighbor scratch their head through these walls?
Asking in European where walls are made of brick or concrete.
Buildings here can also be made of concrete or brick but normally interior walls are drywall and timber.
Bullets penetrate wood and drywall easier than bodies. This is why home defense rounds normally have lower penetrating power.
The real take away here is not the wall composition, but the fact that armed idiots with blanket immunity are shooting off their firearms inside.
It’s so American that we need special ammo because our buildings aren’t built well.
Why do you believe filling interior dividing spaces with bulky and heavy materials should be considered "building well"?
Because then nobody can hear me fucking.
But that's my kink.
I sad laughed at this
Interior walls in the US are typically made with a wood or metal frame inside and a sheet of gypsum drywall on each face. How well they get block sound depends on how thick the drywall is. It's no surprise that a bullet would go through the drywall though. Presumably it did not hit a stud.
Why they emphasize in firearms safety courses be aware of what's behind your target. Most popular handgun calibers will go through most interiors pretty easily and hit things in the next room. Glass just deforms the round as well, it'll reduce its penetrative power but it'll still be dangerous.
If the drywall is thin enough you can just push your finger through it.
