Good grief, I’m still a weapons novice and I know to keep my safety on, finger off the trigger and to ensure my weapon is cleared

He was using his Sig Sauer 9 mm

You may have a hard time finding the "safety" on that weapon.

My son and all my children have been taught the four rules of firearms since they were very small. A week or so ago he was training with his universities SWAT team on room and building clearing. While in the early part of the training a call came in and the lieutenant holstered up and answered the call and in about twenty minutes he returned and rejoined the training.

They were doing a three stack room clearing exercise with their blue dummy glocks. My son was number two in the stack. The first guy was a combat medic in Iraq and they were going down the hallway and he moved left and cleared that room and my son prepared to follow and clear the room on the right. All of a sudden the first guys starts yelling hot gun on the range!!! The lieutenant who had taken the call was creeping behind my son and the other guy with his duty weapon and worst still his finer inside the trigger guard! The officer conducting the class just shook his head and told him clear your weapon and go place it on the weapons table and sit down!

Last year on the range in live fire exercises same scenario and this same idiot on the back of the clearing team was given the order to engage a target he squeezed the trigger and click, nothing. He starts trying to cycle the slide and the guy in front of him turns around and he has his finger on the trigger and it pulled, cycling the slide and it pointed at him. The guy who had the sidearm pointed at him nearly took his head off.

This putz is a lieutenant clearly a danger to himself, his fellow officers and anyone else if he has his sidearm. I have told my son if you are around this idiot watch him like a hawk, he will end up shooting himself or you or an innocent bystander, he needs to be fired for these inexcusable events.
