A criminal justice instructor at Technology Center of DuPage in Addison accidentally discharged a handgun during class Friday afternoon, striking a file cabinet and hollow wall, officials said....

[Eddie01]

wow. dumbass. feel bad for the cabinet.

[dinodino]

Idiot. He should have to pay for the cabinet.

[arderkrag]

Premature?

[basil]

Stupid mistakes like this sure give fuel to the wanna be gun grabbers…….

He was sent home and has been placed on administrative leave until further notice.

If I brought a gun to work and fired it, I would not be rewarded with a paid vacation.

[arderkrag]

Well, maybe a career change is needed. ;)

[Eddie01]

“If I brought a gun to work and fired it, I would not be rewarded with a paid vacation.”

Right?

[Paine in the Neck]

At least they reported that he accidentally discharged the weapon, not that the weapon accidentally discharged. But, beyound that, the article is worthless. What was the weapon? What, specifically, was he doing proximate to his firing the weapon?

[BwanaNdege]

And what is the very first thing you learn about a firearm, class?

"All weapons are LOADED until you personally ensure otherwise each and every time it re-enters your possession!" ...and if you have forgotten since the last time you checked.

Retired FBI agent! ?

I have said it before and will say it again, I know both the right and the left just love to piss on his grave, but the FBI has gone down the tubes since J. Edgar Hoover died.

Leadership is the key to everything. Quality, Profitability. Safety. you name it. When it’s good, there is a great leader behind it, when it’s bad look at the leadership, walk it back, and you will have your answer.

FYI: love fall. looking out the window at a steady rain over a towering tree stand. Bits of red yellow orange dotting the view. Coffee.

If he pulled the trigger then he didn’t “accidentally” fire the gun. They are designed to work that way.

[PoloSec]

Oh...the benefits of higher Edgeamacation!

[cloudmountain]

Those ‘hair triggers’ can be a bummer.

I suspect a Glock was involved. That’ why I own a Beretta.

[Rockpile]

What country did this happen in?

[cloudmountain]

I suspect a Glock was involved. That’ why I own a Beretta.

My husband owned a Beretta. I liked it because it fit into my hand the best. At the time, Osama bin Laden was the bad guy. I got so I could hit his ugly beard 9/10 from twenty feet.

[Patriot365]

I suspect Beretta was involved, so that is why I have a Glock, a Sig, a Colt, and a S&W. Never had a ND with any of those.

[cloudmountain]

Lol.

Libstripper said the EXACT OPPOSITE of you.

Their homepage shows the weather for Chicago.

Local news sites don’t seem to grasp the concept of World Wide Web. They still address everything to the locals.
