In Newton County, east of Atlanta, a deputy was shot while on the training range. Stories aren't completely settle as to what happened. Best guess from the different news sources is he was shot by another deputy and was hit in the leg or knee.
ACTUALLY, according to the AJC, it was another deputy's gun that shot him. Hmmm. Wonder who was holding that gun when it just up and fired?
From the AJC this evening:
A Newton County sheriff’s deputy was shot accidentally Friday afternoon by another deputy’s gun, police said.
The deputy, whose name was not released, was taken to Atlanta Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries, according to Capt. Keith Crumb with the Newton County Sheriff’s Office.
And yet again the basic rules. Somebody violated them. And since the gun can't read, I'm betting it wasn't at fault.

Maybe the solution is Smart Guns than can read....sigh

There is no solution because people are essentially dumber than dirt.

simple solution, have a nd, lose your job and the ability to own fire arms.
Guns should be cash and carry, no bg checks, only a big rubber stamp saying idiot on your forehead if you can't buy one.

TAB just prohibited about 80% of the population, other wise why do we need LAWS to tell the dumb asses not to watch porn, surf the net, or read their E Mail while driving.
-
well it is better then the current system. of which putting a penny on the rail road track makes you a felon.
I have fired ~1 mill rounds, the only time I had a gun go bang when I didn't want it too was a broken firing pin on a 22, that went full auto. that is not a ND, ND are you pulling the trigger.

Have a car accident and you lose your job and the ability to own vehicles?
No, I think you get punished, like everything else, based on the damage done, whether car, gun, boat, plane, hammer or spear.

What would help the problem is if we outlawed the type of warnings like: "Do not use this hair dryer while sitting in the bathtub."

Ditto. Plus remove all the warnings from Ruger barrels, too.

every job I have had with a company truck, you get a ticket or an at fualt wreck, you will be fired. So I am totally ok with that, then again I have been hit 17 times, all 100% not my fualt, all but 2 were stoped at redlights for greater the 30 seconds. One was a drunk driver that crushed several vertebra, require 3 surgeries and lots of metal. A year of pt, and 6 months in a wheel chair. So I am 100% ok with that. I see a nd like a dui, you did something 100% avoidable, and put others lives in danger. I am ok with you not being able to drive.

So you want to treat cops special ?
Or do you want to fire chefs for having an ND ?
One rule for every one, "Equal Protection" remember.

Not quite like that.
TAB's focus is limiting someone's use of something if they show significant disregard for that something..and if using it in your profession is necessary, you can be fired from that profession....like driving for a DUI offender or carrying a gun for an ND offender.
The chef would be fired if he repeatedly, through carelessness stabbed folks with chef's knives or set grease fires in kitchens.

With TAB's reasoning we could take away the right to vote from Democrats because they keep voting for anti American shit smears like Obama, Rangel, Pelosi, Kennedy, etc.
Exactly the same principle, He wants to take away a right from some one because they used it recklessly and injured some one.
I could show that stupid people voting Democrat have hurt or killed a hell of a lot more Americans than all the ND's in history.

I am ok with that.

What is wrong with that?
-
First they came for the cops and I didn't object
Then they came for the chefs and I didn't object.
Then they came for the democrats and I didn't object.
Now there's no one left to come for me. ....
The system works ;D ;D ;D
-
I am ok with that.
Me too. I'm just pointing it out for the others who might not see the potential. ;D

Which (not to bash Glocks) is why so many LE agencies issue Glocks to their officers. They're basically idiot proof to operate (except for the one dumbass DEA Agent who was the "only one here professional enough" to handle one.
All kidding aside, though, they're popular with LE agencies because they don't require a lot of training time.
-
Actually, when I carried a 1911, and would "practice", the safety went off as soon as it was drawn...finger off the trigger... so, in effect it "was" a Glock...almost as good too ;D ;D

What's to object too ?
It should have been done 75 years ago.

I didn't object cause it would be hypocritical seeing as how I'd try to be on that posse.
