This org doesn’t need additional bad press. The 7th floor’s got that covered. What a dumbass.

I would think one of the first things they teach you at Quantico is to keep your damn finger out of the hole when picking up your weapon. Maybe not wearing it during break dancing needs to be taught next.

How about “Not keeping a round chambered unless in imminent danger”?

I can certainly believe that happened with the new trendy FBI.

“The victim was taken to a nearby hospital in “good” condition, according to police.”

When does being shot in the leg be called “good condition”? It wont be “good” when the dude starts suing the idiot and the Trump hating fbi..

It takes a decent pull to fire a pistol, unless you are stupid enough to carry it cocked. What an idiot. Maybe they should go back to revolvers. Though the idiot would probably walk around with one of those cocked too.

Remember that ATF fool caught shooting himself in the leg climbing a ladder with the pistol cocked in his holster? Don’t the Feds learn basic firearms safety?

This wasn’t an “accident”. With regards to the misuse of firearms, there are no “accidents”. This was pure and simple incompetence. His incompetence resulted in a gunshot wound to an unintended target. Said “FBI” agent should be fired.

If it has gone off when it fell, it would have been an accident. That it went off when he picked it up tells me he put his finger in the trigger guard and pulled the trigger.

That’s negligence, not accident.

Does this mean “Cop Rock” won’t be back anytime soon?

If its a striker-fired semi-auto, like a Glock, it takes 5.5 lbs and a 1/4 inch of travel even though it is not fully “cocked”.

Not keeping a round chambered? That’s an unloaded gun. I’m not FBI, but I won’t carry an unloaded gun.

Some handguns don’t have thumb safeties. For example, I carry a Glock, which doesn’t have one. I wouldn’t carry a pistol that had a manual safety. The problem here was holster retention, not a manual safety.

I can’t see the video. Is he black? If so racism is probably involved.

Every weapon with rounds in it is “loaded”. Unless you have a pressing need to carry Israeli, you’re better off not.

1. Safety is off.
2. Puts his finger in the trigger guard.
3. What’s he doing with a firearm?
