Derringer trigger pulls are so tough that I would shoot myself in the leg too.
You can buy Derringer “revolvers” in .22 Magnum.
I had one once. If memory serves 9mm.
I traded something for it and traded it for something.
However contrary to popular opinion, I found I really could hit the side of a barn. From the inside.
More like Not-so employed after that.
who carries in law enforcement a revolver today?....If I could unretire myself, I would. Enhances marksmanship and cuts down on unnecessary noise.
Whoa! This guy goes for all of the good jobs!
Where I worked, a security guard was practicing quick-draw in one of the bathroom stalls — and shot himself in the leg. He was a Barney Fife type.
And I half-expected it to be a Glock 'foh-dee'.
Another one for the “Florida man” files.
‘I am the only one in this room qualified to use this derringer... BANG!’
Yes, but how long since he changed his shirt?
>Police initially said the incident didn’t warrant criminal charges because law enforcement officers are exempt from a state law barring guns on school grounds. But the Panama City Police Department is still investigating, along with the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, which runs the jail.
Yet, not ONE other post pointing out the hypocrisy, 2x-standard, ‘more equal’....I’m sure the ‘Derringer’ was an assault version too (totally illegal to the peons) /s
Good thing he was part of the ‘professional/trained’ force. /2x-s
Well; if you get the jitters don’t be playing with a gun.
If you are going to practice a quick draw in the toilet, do it with an unloaded weapon. Try to remember to put those explosive cylindrical thingies back in before you go on duty.
Better still get a different job.
I remember that cop video, laughed like hell watching him hop around the room after shooting himself in the foot.
Best part; asking everyone in the classroom if they were alright, didn’t he already know that the bullet went into his own foot?
i’ve shot myself in the foot a few times DURING an interview. but that’s figuratively speaking of course.
The safer choice is definitely a revolver derringer.
They came out with clipboards and asked, “Now, how would you clean up this blood?” He dusted it with sawdust to dry it up, swept it, and then brought out the bleach. He starts on Monday.
If he did first aid while waiting and stayed for the interview, “Hired!”
