Gun safety Teacher shoots self

[Kain99]

ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- A federal drug agent shot himself in the leg during a gun safety presentation to children in what police describe as an accident. His bosses, however, are still investigating the incident.

That must have been Mega embarrassing!

Maybe he was just trying to show what can happen if you're not careful?:shrug:

"Wach carefully, I'm only going to do this once"

He drew his .40-caliber duty weapon and removed the magazine, according to the police report. He then pulled back the slide and asked an audience member to look inside the gun and confirm it wasn't loaded.

Witnesses said when the agent released the slide, one shot fired into the top of his left thigh. The gun was pointed at the floor.

That's his story and he's sticking to it.

The article says he removed the clip and then had another person inspect the gun to make sure a round wasn't chambered, what a maroon. It is my experience that unloaded guns do not fire. Apparently he didn't make sure himself that the gun wasn't loaded. To think that they let this guy do demonstrations.

Isn't that a reenactment of what started off Waco?

"Yes, Officer,...all of our guns are unloaded...Here, have a look."


BANG!

"RUN! The Koresh is firing at us!"
