It was one way of starting the school year off with a bang.
An instructor at Idaho State University was injured in a classroom Tuesday after the gun in his pocket fired, wounding the man in the foot.
The Idaho State Journal reported that the instructor, who was not named, had an enhanced concealed carry permit.
Arriving Pocatello police officers found the instructor in the Physical Science Complex with a non-life threatening injury.
"I'm glad he shot himself and nobody else," Chad Conner, a student at the school, told the paper.
The instructor was released from the hospital that same night.

What a fucking moron. Use a damn crotch-holster or something, don't just stick a loaded weapon in your pocket then finger it during class.
It's negligent assholes like this that give so much fuel to the antis. It was a really hard fight earlier this year in the state legislature over getting that bill passed allowing concealed-carry on most Idaho college campuses (despite strong opposition from law enforcement agencies and university presidents) and Governor Otter really took a lot of heat sticking his neck out signing that bill into law.
Now this fucker comes along and makes the governor look like a fool.
I'm not saying there needs to be more rigorous training for CCW applicants, but it would be nice if people used a little more common sense.
Good grief.
