A judge has dismissed a lawsuit by a DEA agent who claimed the agency leaked a video that showed him accidentally shooting himself while demonstrating gun safety in Florida.
The 2004 video was shown on national television and used as fodder by late-night talk show hosts.

That is one of my pet peeves as well.
That is indeed an example of the rare Accidental Discharge. I note that no harm came of it because A) you have a clue, which leads directly to B) you were observing Rule 2.
There are a lot of clueless idiots out there. Like the guy in this video.
Doofus! Don’t brag about how you’re the only one professional enough to have a handgun when you’re about to shoot yourself in the foot. Don’t blame people you were denigrating as not as skilled as you if they happen to notice when you fook up.
Why not post the story and hope he sees it? ;-P
Man, that’s one guy who have just shut up and gone home.
Now his humiliating error is in the news again.
Talk about self-inflicted injuries. Dumbbell.
Hey, that’s a pic of that idiot blog pimp, isn’t it?
Does he have magnets in his fingers and on the triggers or something?
They do happen, But as a Military Firearms Instructor and then a LEO Firearms Instructor, I have seen and/or studied many weapons discharges and probably 99% of them were negligent discharges.
Even in SpecOps units(Mil and LEO) where we had a higher level of training, someone would inevitably have a brain fart and "accidentally" fire their weapon, usually after "clearing" their weapon and "forgetting" the round left in the chamber.
Back in the dim and distant past, when sissies didn’t rule the schools, my bearded/pony-tailed history teacher, Mr Hoopengardner would occasionally show up for class decked out in full buckskin frontiersman regalia, toting his black powder musket.
We must’ve done something really deserving one day because he opened a classroom window and lit that big sucker up.
The BOOOOM! was nearly sonic.
We, as hillbilly-born 13 year olds, naturally loved it.
Wasn’t but about 5 minutes that most of the faculty was at the door, freaking out.

When they found out what really happened, they went back whence they came and that was that.
The principal merely asked for a “heads up” were there ever a ‘next time’.
Ah, the good old days.

Mr. Reed had a Grand Knight’s Robe and hood. he taught AP History.
Well...that sure beats my story.
You win....:)
*snert!*
Some people have to stick the fork in the socket quite a few times before the message gets through.
The reason I mentioned it was because it’s rare.
I’ve also had a ND. I was 14 and hunting. It was misty and damp and I was using an ancient 410. I went to cock it and my finger slipped off the hammer. It was an eye-opener. I’ve been very careful since then.
That ‘lil feller is leaking idiot all over the floor!
