Funny how all these “highly skilled, professional” LE types seem to have trouble with ND’s from Glocks.
Maybe my 12-year-old niece can be the next teacher for the gun safety class. She knows better, as well she should - she learned safety from me. :-)
Guns don’t just go off by themselves. This was a case of a finger on the trigger when it should not have been there.
"This here be a Glock Fo-tay. Fiddy Cent, Too Short, dey all talk 'bout a Glock Fo-tay. I'm the only one in this room professional enough to handle this Glock Fo-tay."
BANG!
Thanks for the link. That’s priceless!
Guns don’t accidentally go off except in rare occasions of mechanical failure. This one was most likely set off by the instructors stupidity, of course the MSM makes it sound as if the gun just happened to go off.
Now that is classic!
This incident has been described elsewhere.
Idiot pulled an “NYPD holster” - finger on trigger, shove into leather....
Regardless of where his finger was he should never have been in a classroom teaching with a loaded weapon.
Yeah, but cops are still the "ONLY" people responsible enough to have handguns </sarcasm>
Pride goeth before a fall, but rarely does the fall come so quickly.
Ever watch the TV show “Myth Busters?” Every time they experiment with any type of fire arms there is a local LEO standing around watching the process. As if only cops are qualified to do this. What a joke!
Sounds like something Barney Fife would do.
