I agree. People would getting out of there if that really happened. Hell, I know I wouldn't stay in there with him.

That and the fact that none of the adults seemed to care, the camera zoomed in right before it *went* off, and then that he said that stupid sh!t about being the only one with "professional" enough training to have one. The purpose was very clear - he wanted to make it look like it could just go off even on him(someone who was SUPPOSED to have experience) so he could scare the kids. Not a bad tactic.

I remember in High School they had this "drug" thing where a student *supposedly* stole some of the samples, but it was a put-on to show us how the CJ system worked. It gets their attention more than a straight lecture.

If that's what really happened, then that just perpetuates the idea that guns themselves are bad. That a gun can just "go off" by itself. A lot of people believe that these days.

How it people believing a false statement a good thing?

Also, this was an "accident" like wrapping your car around a utility pole while you had a .25 BAL is an accident. In other words, it wasnt an accident, it was an incident caused by the DEA agent's negligence and stupidity. I feel an equal amount of sympathy for this agent as I do for a drunk that wrecks his car: none. I do feel thankful that no one else was hurt in this incident but the person at fault.

right he just turned into a terrorist when the glock went off. and he want to terrorize the people in the room even more with a rifle. the guy would have been pulled off the stage.

I have no idea what you just said.

I wonder what the consequences were for this agent. This really was a SERIOUS breach of care, and he could have injured or killed an innocent bystander.

I'm reminded of a similar incident a couple of years ago, in which a female police officer brought her Glock to career day at her son's school, and handed it to a student, thinking it was unloaded - the student fired a round that grazed another child's head.

You know, where were these mental midgets employed as LEOs back in sixth grade when I visited the FBI building and got to handle an MP5? I could have had a blast (or 30 ;) )!

But really, people that are dumb enough to hand grade schoolers loaded weapons (or, dumb enough to shoot themselves while giving a talk on gun safety) shouldnt be employed in occupations that require them to handle a gun on a regular basis.

Or he could have just barely grazed himself, resulting in minimal bleeding. Also, it is quite common for gunshot victims to not register pain for a while, even when severely wounded.

The fat blonde cop needs a new job.

The other one I have serious doubts about, if it is real it's a damn shame we're teaching crap like that to our kids.

Be afraid of the gun everybody! Run away!

How should I know. He obviously wanted to continue talking about safety and recover from his serious accident.

You have the proof in front of you, just accept it.

That was classic. Kinda reminded me of that clip where the lady cop was covering a suspect laying on the ground and accidentally put a round in the pavement right next to his head. These cops need to play with their guns a bit more I guess.

No kidding. I had three cops whip out their guns on me and two friends for trespassing at my school's football field. They pressed them up against our backs, probably with the safetys off. It was the middle of the afternoon too, some people just don't have the brain capacity to use a gun properly.

If they had their safeties on, then they need to attend some serious firearm & officer safety training. My gun doesn't even have external safeties.

wait a second... I thought you were allegedly an officer or an officer in training... You believe that police would actually push a gun against the back of a teenager who is merely trespassing on a football field?
