I wonder if all these gun show oops stories are just an new tactic to portray guns OWNERS as fumble finger fools.

so far it is just police who have the issue.

this and the youtube video of the gun safety class cop shooting himself

I posted a thread to celebrate the birthday of JMBrowning. I'll stick with the true faith, as it was handed down. ;)

Yes, it is exactly like how “the SUV drove into the crowd.”

Regular readers both here and at my online journal, The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance, know that I have a collection of stories that grows just about every day, tales of official corruption, negligence, stupidity and arrogance I call The "Only Ones" Files.

As I explained a while back in this column, the term derives from a negligent discharge incident involving DEA agent Lee Paige:

"I'm the only one in this room professional enough that I know of to carry this Glock .40," he told a roomful of school kids in an anti-gun/drug lecture, then proceeded to shoot himself in the foot trying to holster the weapon...

I thought the title referred to the gun show as the unintended victim, when the pistol accidentally fired at the gun show. It could have fired at anyone or anything, but it fired at the gun show. It makes me wonder, did the cop train it that way?
