I realize it's behind a paywall. Short version is they ran a story today about derringers lighting off if loaded then dropped, and did include a little bit of info about how current carry handgun designs are safe, but unless you already know the subject, you might come away from reading the article with the idea that all small guns are unsafe.
The article strikes me as if they're basically trying to draw attention to Cobra specifically, and get the design pulled from the market, or support federal "drop safe" legislation. I'm a little weak on the current regulations for this (I think it's up to the individual states, correct?) so pardon if I'm stating this wrong.
