The story is behind a paywall, so I'm pasting the important text below. The other half of the article is just detailing how MARTA officials are trying to get the General Assembly to ban guns on busses and trains (not gonna happen).

"Two MARTA bus passengers were injured late Wednesday after a gun’s “accidental discharge,” the transit agency said.

The incident happened at about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday in Sandy Springs on MARTA bus route 5 and comes just a month after MARTA leaders, in response to safety questions, urged state lawmakers to ban weapons on trains and buses.

In Wednesday’s incident, two people “were struck by gunfire” when the bus was at the intersection of Roswell and Glenridge roads, MARTA said in a statement.

One person was hit in the right leg and was said to be stable when taken to a hospital. A man described by MARTA as the suspect was shot in the left forearm. After the shooting, the suspect fled a short distance to the Church of Scientology on Roswell Road, where authorities took him into custody.

The suspect was also taken to a hospital for treatment and will be booked later into the Fulton County Jail, MARTA said. He will face charges of reckless conduct and aggravated assault, according to officials.

The investigation remains ongoing, but this appears to be an accidental discharge of a firearm by the male and not a targeted incident,” the agency’s statement said.

The names of the injured individuals have not been released. MARTA did not immediately respond to a question about if there were other passengers on board at the time of the shooting. "

On the most recent NROI podcast, there was a lot of discussion about banning sight pictures and dry fire during the make ready (to match IPSC’s rules). Great idea or dumb idea?

The no shots before 9am in Alabama thing is actually a liability shield law for ranges. As long as no shots are fired on a range prior to 9am, the range can’t be sued for noise complaints. Technically not illegal to shoot prior to 9, but CMP treats it like a law.

Listening to the discussion about matchbooks on the pod today reminded me of the matchbook from the 2019 Georgia state match. The MD intentionally fucked with everyone by listing the start condition for every stage as handgun unloaded on a table.

Edit to add: There weren't actually any unloaded starts in the match, if I recall. I also thought it was hilarious when he admitted to doing it just to play with everyone.
