Guys I just spotted this newly posted video:
Apparently, an RSO or other "training" person at an indoor range was attempting to demonstrate the firing of a .44 magnum revolver. He cocks the hammer back demonstrating the SA mode of the revolver, and with the gun pointed up at a roughly 45 degree angle, manages to forget the weapon is loaded and discharges a round into the ceiling. Don't worry though! He"meant" to do that.
Aside from the resulting ND, the way he was handling and maneuvering around the loaded gun was not very professional. I don't have any details about where this happened or what the "trainers" name is, but this is a lesson to all of us out there that you might want to do some preliminary research on the instructor or range personnel in your area before taking a course of any kind.
I personally believe that this man was complacent in his handling of a loaded firearm, and he reeks of overconfidence and arrogance. Just thought I would share this with everyone!
