Saw a video where cops were trying to stop a “hot pursuit runner” and several cops at close range shot at the perp in his van 20+ times and NEVER hit the dude. Sure makes one more comfortable with no need to protect yourself the LEOS will protect the citizens!!

Good thing he wasn’t scratching his you-know-whatsees with it. :-) What a moroon.

If people were to follow these rules they would eliminate accidents:

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction

Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot

Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use

To disassemble a GLOCK:

1. Remove magazine

2. WARNING: Cycle slide and visually inspect there is not a round loaded in the chamber

3. Depress trigger

It looks like the Chief missed step number 2. But it didn't miss him...

***”I think Riverdale police are just trying to keep this quiet and act like the chief is a hero. But if you ask me, he’s really stupid,” Walker said. “His state certification to teach concealed-weapons classes should be taken away from him. This was totally gross negligence.”***

That is exactly right.

I personally would never own a Glock. The idea of having to pull the trigger to take the slide off is a little... weird.

Ebert said the findings of an internal investigation would be announced Wednesday. He declined to offer specifics but disputed the accounts of Ulm and Walker, describing the pair as "disgruntled."

Disgruntled? What a knee slapper!

How can they be disgruntled when they were just attending a CCW class?

What a load of s...

That’s the clip! Hilarious.

Especially when he says, “I’m the only one in this room professional enough to handle this Glock .40” and then promptly shoots his foot and starts limping around.

I thought it was elementary kids, but they look older in the clip.

prior to shooting himself, He’d just pulled the trigger on an empty chamber pointed out into the room, not at the ground. pretty scary.

Every time I watch that video, I can’t believe it.

Watching the Government DEA agent just try and blow this off, after shooting himself, is insanely funny, and very frightening at the same time.

I wouldn’t let this doofus house-train our new puppy!

It wouldn't pee on the floor anymore, but the blood would be worse.

If I was in a classroom when some dimwit accidentally discharged a round I'd be pretty disgruntled. The guy accidentally shot himself. Accidentally shooting yourself, particularly in a non-emergency situation is pretty much total proof that you shouldn't carry a firearm. Shooting yourself during an emergency is still bad, but at least you can make the argument that you slipped or something. Shooting yourself in the foot while sitting at a desk is pretty retarded.

Now that's just a shame.

Last picture I saw of Travis looked like he was snorting spent casings
out his nose and ready to give somebody some serious social consequences.

And now this??!
