The sheriff’s office says a partygoer had a concealed-carry permit for the weapon, which was holstered to his waist. He removed the holstered gun so that he could take off his pants to show-off a tattoo when another man removed the gun.
Deputies say he was trying to show off the gun when it went it off.
Detectives say marijuana, alcohol and ecstasy were involved.
