Sad when an incident happens like this especially in a concealed weapons training class. Gives us gun owners a bad rap...so to speak.

Broke the first few cardinal safety rules, check to make sure gun is unloaded and don't point at anything you don't want to destroy, keep your (students) finger off the damn trigger until ready to fire.......... fer starters.
Hey, hold my badge and watch this:yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::yikes::cuss::cuss::cuss::cuss:
What a moron. Was he trying to impress the ladies with his knowledge? Sorry no excuses.

Heck Buford, the guy served in the military!! He's knowledgeble fer gosh sake! Of course it's an accident....:roll:
'Accident' is when you're an officer and screw up. Negligence is when you're (in their words) a civilian. See the difference?

IT IS NEGLIGENCE - Failure to take proper care in doing something: Failure to use reasonable care, resulting in damage or injury to another.
Synonyms:
neglect - carelessness - inadvertence - inadvertency
TRUTH OF THE MATTER: Should not have let it happen if he had used proper procedure, plain and simple NEGLIGENCE!!!!!!!
No excuse for IT!!!! :roll::nono::down:
himself through the hand, which then struck his wife( who was sitting beside him),
in her leg.
They were both transported to the hospital, with non-life threatening injuries.
The handgun was .45 caliber.
When my wife & I took the safety course, our instructor had everyone place their
guns on a table, and then checked them, and unloaded them, if they were loaded.
They stayed on the table during the classroom sessions.
A few years ago, an instructor at a Virginia college( I won't say which), was
showing a lady a handgun ( .380 I think), when he shot her 14 year old son in the
chest, killing him.

Offensive to me as that statement is, I'll bite my tongue.
Just because the media called it an "Accident" doesn't mean everyone will refer to it as one. Besides, an accident implies a consequence without intention to do so. So, it was an accident perpetuated by negligence. See the difference?
Basic comprehension plays a huge role here. "Deputy Sheriff accidentally shoots...", reads correctly in context with the unfortunate outcome. If he was a murderer, it would have read, "Deputy Sheriff INTENTIONALLY shoots fellow Deputy's wife...".
An accident by-way-of negligence.

Well said. I never did understand why "negligent discharge" replaced "accidental discharge". Back when it was an AD, we still managed to understand that the root cause was likely negligence.
The one that drive me nuts is, "the gun went off" as if to imply the gun spontaneously discharged without operator action.

Wasn't that Forest Gump's Mama that said that, your not related are you :jester::jester: Just having fun and yes stupid is as stupid does!!!
I meant no offence, but I understand if it came across as though I did. Like other citizens, there are good and bad in every bunch. Almost always much more good than bad, but even many of the good (around here) seem to have the idea that having a badge somehow puts one 'above'...

Sometimes Justice & Punishment or leniency / clemency is not applied equally across the board, lots of stuff is resolved in house and with a few days suspension..... I once got to suspend a Chief, two days disciplinary suspension, his regular days off, it was rather funny at the time, we both thought so anyway.
Edited to add, It was misuse of an official vehicle......
:that:
Buford's post also shows this. If this were John Q., we'd at least be hearing of the possibilty of charges, if not worse. The folks interviewed in the article almost seem as though they're saying 'nothing to see...move along'. That's what I was trying to convey. I understand that I'm swinging a wide, tarry brush...but I often feel as though a similar brush has been applied to us 'civilians'...
