Do you remember the incident in New York a few years ago when the cops shot a hundred times and wounded nine innocent bystanders? If those are the ones who are trained, imagine where the bullets will end up in the hands of the untrained.
My father taught me that there is nothing more useless than an unloaded gun. Every one of my semi-autos in the same has a loaded mag in it. Extra mags are stored loaded. The pistol on my right hip has 15 in the mag and one in the chamber. In fact, there was no discussion in my defensive pistol class about carrying without one in the chamber. It was assumed that everyone did.
Good to see you are well prepared for the apocalypse. Wonderful way to live.
For a while there were millions of guns manufactured that had flaws that would allow them to go off without the trigger being pulled, but just from being handled roughly. Might be one of those. Or maybe it got caught on something that pushed the trigger while moving it.
Please provide more information on this.
There have been some pistols produced that have this flaw, they were recalled by the manufacturer and replaced with a corrected model. http://www.waltherarms.com/recall/
What it did mention was he was also a reserve cop and a city councilman.
This is the Government official "we" (the country) are supposed to rely on to "protect" us.
I've fired hundreds of thousands of round in my life as a competitive shooter, with firearms that have a trigger that will go off with 3 grams of pressure (a hair trigger if there ever was one). Not one single, solitary accidental discharge.
Beyond that, as an Instructor, the only time loaded firearms are handled are on the range. In the classroom, if we Must use a real weapon, the very first thing that's done is to clear it. If we know ahead of time (99% of the time), it's cleared on the range with no one else around.
There is something Very fishy about this "news". I never rule out someone being a complete idiot as people never cease to amaze me with their idiocy, but someone political who's had mandatory training to be a reservist... it feels like there will be more to the story in the next few days.

You don't know how I live. This discussion is just a small aspect of my very fulfilling life with my family.
Do I live in fear of being stranded during a trip because I have AAA? Do I live in fear of a house fire because I have smoke detectors and a fire extinguisher? Do I live in fear of death because I have a life insurance policy? No. These are things that responsible adults do.
I love my family and I will protect them against every threat.
This reminds of the time a PE teacher was demonstrating how to swing a golf club in high school. She accidentally flung the golf club in the direction of us students. Luckily, none of us students got injured. It pays to pay attention.
Looks like liberal teachers are shooting up the classrooms trying to make a case for gun control.
Nice try. Yeah, we liberals don't play with our guns all day like you gun lovers.
