MANY moons ago in my days as a Drill Sergeant I had a 'crute drop a LIVE grenade at my feet (you know the qualifing in the pill box thing).  We were both wearing flack vests and there is the 'sump'.  I grabbed the little peckerwad, kicked the grenade towards the sump and bailed out the back, landing of course, on top of the pussbucket as is my duty.

She was immediatley lead off the range never to be seen by me again.  She was recycled to day one in another company.  That's what we did with TRAINIES, this guy is SUPPOSED to be a TRAINER!

Back in '77 I watched a young lady put two through the roof of the range house with a Colt 1911A1 before she managed to get her diddle finger off the bang switch.  She wasn't prepared for the recoil...to the best of my knowledge that was the last time she ever handled a firearm.  Thankfully, the regular Navy doesn't FORCE people to use a sidearm, ya gotta volunteer for it.

The Range Master was a little embarrased for handing her a 1911 with a full mag rather than one round at a time.  She'd said she had some experience but in those situations it's better to think like a Missourian and "Show Me"!!!

Hardcore Haz. I've gotta ask though, did she have any ass at all left when she recycled or was it completely chewed off? ;D

from the news story:
 whose duties included training his colleagues on how to use various firearms
I uderstand the demotion, I don't think I would want this guy training firearms use in my department.  Probably the reason he was not fired is because of his age and years of service.

Maybe. But tell me you haven't f!#@d up once. Hell, look at Pincus' post about his friend. I get that there need to be consequences, it just seems that a months pay (plus loss of the instructer's position, except to be an object lesson) and surgery should do it. Let him who is without sin etc.....

Shooting yourself should be automatic termanation, unless the gun malfunctioned.  More so for a training officer.

ESPECIALLY if he was in the PD at the time.  WAY too many potential victims around in that case.

thats even worse...

the way I see it, all men are equal.   if john Q public would be charged/ have his CCW removed( and I think they should)  then so should John Q police officer.

You shoot yourself in the leg here, your going to be charged with discharging a firearm illegally. 

yet if your a LOE and do it,  at most your going to get a letter of repromand.  most of the time you don't even get that.

Ya know they have already set fire to the new PD station that is being built.
More on that if you want.
