A member of the Canadian Armed Forces has launched a lawsuit against the federal government and gun manufacturer Sig Sauer after he was wounded by an unexpected discharge of his pistol.
Master Warrant Officer Jamie Deslaurier said his C22 pistol, the Canadian variant of the P320, went off while in his holster and hit his foot in 2024. Deslaurier told CBC News that he had planned to stay in the military for 25 years to get a full pension, but his career was cut short by the injury.
