If you are stupid enough to put your finger inside the trigger guard, when you aren’t on target... you should be wielding nothing more deadly than a mop.

My brother is in law enforcement and they have to wear holsters that can be detached from the belt (but no paddle holsters). They have a strict “no guns out of the holster in the office” policy for this very reason?

Not an accident. I believe the phrase is negligent discharge. Unless there is something mechanically wrong with the firearm, they don’t just fire on their own. They only fire when the person handling them operates them intentionally, or does something stupid and careless. Stupid and careless are not good qualities for anyone handling a firearm, particularly law enforcement who are supposed to be trained and conscientious.

Deputy Justin Brannock, 28, was taking his personal firearm out of its holster at 10:28 p.m. when the gun fired

One of my pet peeves is the use of the passive tense, which lazy writers often use to hide responsibility for the act. Here's the sentence using the active tense: "Deputy Justin Brannock, 28, was taking his personal firearm out of its holster at 10:28 p.m. when he fired the gun."

On a side note, I bet the gun was a Glock.

Cop......shot.....Glock. It is almost epidemic.
