Bondsman Carl Jackson was shot in the leg with his own gun during an altercation at a gas station. According to reports filed by KMBC, Jackson accused another man of stealing something from him. A fight ensued and Jackson’s gun fell to the ground during the struggle. An unidentified female picked up the gun and fired it, hitting Jackson in the leg.
No determination has been made on whether charges will be filed.
These stories really upset me. Another attempt to put our profession in the spotlight. Why couldnt it have said, "Man Shot In the Leg With Own Gun"? It doesnt say he was doing a function of a bondsman or bounty hunter. Why was the fact he was a bondsman relevent? Anyone with a CCW permit can carry concealed and anyone who can own a gun can carry open in most places. It has nothing to do with him being a bondsman.
