FBI agent accidentally shoots bar patron when gun falls out of holster while dancing
Remember to stay off the floor when guns are dancing
Sure, they’re some good people at the FBI, but I’m afraid they don’t count just as the good Germans in Germany in 1933. If Trump hadn’t been elected, we would know nothing of the FBI or DOJ misdeeds. The organization is rotten at the top and at its core it’s very sick.
Look at the Bundy and Oregon cases. Those are boots on the ground or more appropriately boots on the face.
We should not have this type of all powerful Federal police force. The Framers would’ve been appalled at this police state.
Re-organize and down size this organization. Devolve their power wherever possible to the States. Eventually we will see the Leftists get back in and they will really weaponize these agencies against any opposition.
No doubt. It went off cuz he was drunk and pulled the trigger when he tried to quickly retrieve it.
Done several classes. No one teaches that. Carry guns stay loaded at all times. No one would take an instructor seriously if they suggest carrying a cleared pipe.
Not keeping a round chambered? That’s an unloaded gun. I’m not FBI, but I won’t carry an unloaded gun.

Thank you. My sentiments also. I wouldn’t own a
striker-fired weapon. I’ll stay with my SIGs with
visible hammer.
Bon Jovi warned us:
Shot through the leg
And he’s to blame
Darlin’, you give cops a bad name
An Agent’s smile is what they sell
They promise us heaven, then put us through Hell
Chains of love got a hold on me
When passions a prison, you can’t break free
Oh, they’re a loaded gun, yeah
Oh, there’s nowhere to run
No one can save them
The damage is done
I didn’t see that in his post. Did he hit a sore point?
Once you are in eminent danger its too late to chamber a round. Just dont pick 8t up with ypur finger inside the trigger guard.
Dude, the video is just a few seconds. I really doubt that you would have jumped him in that time.
We have insurance to clean up messes like this, just call my boss’.

Never mention insurance in a case like this (or auto accident). One
has no authority to obligate a insurance company.
1) Eject mag.
2) Eject possible round
3) Inspect chamber for absence of round
4) Pull trigger - You cannot disassemble the weapon with the trigger cocked.

That's why he should be immediately subjected to a blood alcohol test. I'd say doing a backflip in a bar while carrying a loaded gun is good enough suspicion that he's lost any number of inhibitions.
Regardless of CO law, I have to think that the FBI itself independently has its own rules on gun safety &c that were violated here.
Perfect reply from the person on Twitter.

How many minutes does it take to rack a Glock? Most people could do it in between the initial draw and getting on target with no time lost.

Unless one arm is busy/disabled........
Ensure pistol is pointed in a safe direction.

Yes this the new liberal, hip FBI.
You’ve thought this through. I bet he wishes he had. Either he was drunk, incompetent, or both.
Some Sigs have a safety. For example, the P238 (.380) and P239 (9mm) do.
