I'm the only one in this room professional enough....

Kids did not cry and people did not rush out (right away).

Yeah, I was surprised it took so long for anyone to realize they would be safer to go elsewhere. Maybe they were just all in shock. At least we finally see one guy at the end of the video grab his daughter and leave.
 
His response to the outcry when the AR comes out: "It's OK. It's OK. It's empty. It's an empty weapon."

Famous last words. Right up there with, "I'm the only person in this room, that I know of, professional enough . . ."
 
I'm having trouble deciding whether his ND is due more to his superior training, or to his superior judgement (both of which we know all cops have).
 
Showed this video to my husband TWICE. The first time he was laughing so hard the tears blurred his vision. At least his "negligent discharge" hurt him and not a child in the audience like the one that happened when a female officer took out the Glock magazine but didn't empty the chamber and passed the loaded gun around the kindergarten class. When she put the magazine back in, she pulled the trigger and the shot grazed a little girl's face. She said "it just went off"; but her son said "she pulled the trigger". :banghead:
 
DEA Shooting

In reveiwing the video. I saw the camera man jump when the shot went off.
But I saw no one else jump, put their hands up the their ears, or take cover. I would have thought the the White man in the light blue shirt would have atleast moved some. If he was the class teacher get up and remove the kids.

In any case the DEA was hotdoging it.

Safetys on triggers are not safe at any speed. :rolleyes:
 
I personally find that safetys on any firearm are truely useless. A safety will never take the place of the "thought process" behind safe firearm handling.

I agree. I never use the safety on any of my guns that have manual safeties. I like to keep it simple - when I pull the trigger the gun fires and when I don't pull the trigger, the gun doesn't fire.

This is why my first handgun was a revolver. I liked the idea of a point and click interface. No safeties to mess with. If I want to shoot someone/something I just point and pull the trigger. A well designed handgun in a well designed holster has little need of safeties in most situations.

Of course, this means that idiots who put their finger on the trigger and wave their guns around occasionally shoot themselves in the leg. :)
 
I wonder how many people recieved any hearing loss?

Edit: The "I am the only one in this room, that I know of, professional enough to carry a glock .40" comment really bugs me too.
 
It just proves wat we all already know...just becuse your a LEO doesnt mean you know SQUAT about guns or how to handle them properly :rolleyes:
 
Am I the only one who saw this as an intentional ND - to demonstrate to the kiddies "treat every gun as if loaded." It was planned just as it happened, start to finish.
 
No, I thought of that possibility. I mean, if he did shoot himself, even just a mild wound, wouldn't he attent to that? Also, a .40 going off in that small room. We'd have a lot of ringing ears... No one got out of his or her seat... All seems a bit fishy to me. Then again, could be the real thing... :cool:
 
So has there been any follow-up story? Did the guy get fired, or what?

i wasnt sure if it was real until i saw this news account:

http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/336/dea.shtml

"Now, here's a lesson on gun safety that will not quickly be forgotten. According to Orlando, Florida, television station WKMG, an Orlando-based DEA agent shot himself in the leg during a gun safety presentation to local kids. The agent, whom superiors mercifully refused to name, was treated at the Orlando Hospital Center after the April 9 incident and is now back on the job."
 
I'm the only oe in this room professional

Lets see, I have a few modifying adjectives to describe this DEA agent: "Maroon" "Dummy" Dip s--t" "Qualified Har-d-har-har-har, bwahaaaaaaaaaha. If he is a qualified DEA Agent, then no wonder we are losing the drug war. :cuss: :banghead: :neener:
