Accidents can happen to anyone. Please be safe.

Post by sanctuary »

Has anyone else seen this? It made a big impression on me when it comes to safety. Accidents can happen to anyone. Even professionals.

Yeah, there's nothing like a federal law enforcement agent shooting himself in the foot, literally, while giving a lecture on gun safety.

That made the rounds a year or so back but its still a good reminder to check more than just the breach. Its a good thing he did not shoot one of his students.

I suppose that now when he puts his foot in his mouth....there isn't quite as much of it to put in!? Yep, looks like a Certified Dumb Ass (CDA) to me as well, :first: :thumbsdown:

He's probably not a fed. He obviously got that t-shirt on a street corner down in DC...you can impersonate anyone you want if you visit the right vendor.

An accident? I dont think so. A professional? Bigger I dont think so. This was no accident. An accident is something that happens that cannot be prevented. This one obviously could have if the guy weren't so cocky. If he really is an LEO he should go hide himself.

I did a Google search on this and found out that the guy was in fact a DEA agent and actually sued the DEA for releasing the video.

Everyone in that room should have gotten up and filed out of the room and left this idiot all by himself. As for the co-idiot who handed him the rifle, she is as unsafe as he was. Gee...now do you wonder why the DEA is so ineffective? :thumbsdown:

What a joke...the guy and the fact that he would much less could sue for such a stupid reason.

This has to be a joke just to scare the kids into not playing with guns. What moron would keep limping around after having been shot? He'd be bleeding all over the floor and someone would need to call 911 and apply pressure right away blah blah blah (which no one seemed to care about).

Chances are this jerk could have kept going even if it had been a head shot....there was nothing there that a bullet would have damaged! Don't you sleep better at night knowing idiots like this are carrying a badge and a gun and just may be kicking in the door of the wrong house....that just may be YOUR house!

If someone matching that guy's physical description attempted to gain access to my home, he would be shot dead.

He looks like a Jamaican hood rat.

He really does say "I am the only one in the room professional enough to carry a glock .40" and then proceed to shoot hmself???

that is awesome! i mean AWESOME!!!!
#3 cheers for our team...

and how about that StratTac response from the rest of the observers... Unbelievable. as if he was still in control...of anything...

I DO wish i had a better view of how it was still loaded...as he seemed to check, but hard to tell...

DEA/LEO Training $36K
Glock 22 .40 - $550
Box of Speer GD SD JHP's : $28
Dippity Doo for Dread locks $18

Having your employer use your Horrendous Effe Up for a training video...PRICELESS!

When you're ready or when you're not ready.

Also never forget, that everyone who shows up, is not necessarily there to help.

:hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical: :hysterical:

and it was either going to be this or he was going to give himself a vicious case of Glock leg...



He is an affront to Glock ownership... :fireleft:
