Absolutely. And, IMO, he was actually right in some instances where he criticised Andy for not following proper procedures. Because it wasn’t really that sleepy of a town. They had more than a few hardcore criminals passing through. Bank robbers, etc.

And folks in the DOJ don’t understand why we have no faith in the system.

What I find interesting about that video is that after the gun discharged, the agent just walked away. No big deal. See you all later.

But maybe in today’s FBI, this is the new normal. Maybe guns are accidentally going off all the time.

I think it should be policy that, if an FBI agent gets to carry his gun off duty, that he shouldn’t be allowed to drink.

Who even makes a silly spectacle of themselves while carrying a firearm?
This guy should have been quietly chatting or sampling the hors d'oeuvres.

Not even any mandatory remedial dance instruction???

Let’s get ready to rhumbaaaaaaa!

Of course, if you don’t pick the gun up by the trigger, only your geeky dance moves will embarrass you.

A very good question which I’d like to know the answer to as well (the make).
A weapon that discharges after falling out of a holster, whether safety on or not, is not a safe weapon.
