Bet it was a Glock "Safe" Pistol...There's a reason the Military refused to adopt them.

I prescribe to the notion that there are no gun related accidents only negligence, carelessness or blatant stupidity. Not sure where to classify this shooting, but it isn't an accident.

From the article:

An officer was seriously hurt September 10 when he accidentally shot himself in the leg during advanced firearms training

So not just normal training.
It was advanced training.

 

[ManualF150]

Article clearly states: Although no crime or act of negligence has been indicated.......

This is what is called a negligent discharge.

The person was pointing and shooting at an object that they clearly didn't intend to want to shoot.

If one of us peons did this to ourselves, we'd have our guns confiscated, permit revoked, and we'd be charged with negligent discharge of a firearm.

“I’m sorry, Officer Smith, but you failed the quick-draw training. You’ll need to reschedule.

“But, I…… I drew my gun the fastest!”

“You shot yourself in the leg.”

“But I did it fast!”

" negligent discharge" The reason for the bourgeoning population of unwed mothers for the last thirty years and their un fathered spoor running rampage.

Even better... It was a rifle.

Well,
I forgive him
Wish him well
He shot his own leg.
Question is..can he forgive himself?

Some people just shouldn`t be allowed to ever touch firearms.

“The sacrifices and dangers faced by law enforcement officers serve as constant reminders of the challenges inherent in their commitment to serve and protect our communities,” said Haledon Chief of Police, Angelo J. Daniele

So who is going to protect them from, themselves.

 

[Depick]

This is not a training accident. This is clearly a negligent discharge. Now this guy gets a tax payer funded vacation for being careless.

It won`t be filed in the report as such though.

He might get 3/4 , tax free retirement

He might get 3/4 , tax free retirement

Likely a full bonus check package as well with the retirement.

I should’ve gotten into LE

It was after all, the fault of the weapon, right mainstream media.

My father and a friend/neighbor started up a rod & gun club in the town of Fenner. I think it was called the Fenner Rod & Gun Club, but not totally sure of that... I was only 6-7 years old at the time and this was 65 or so years ago. Anyways, pop would have folks up to the house and he'd do the hunter safety classes so they could get their hunting licenses. So.... one day pops comes home from a day of deer hunting. He stomps the snow off his boots and takes off his heavy leather/wool chaps, and sits on the stool next to the potbelly stove in the kitchen. He pulls his .22 Colt Huntsman sidearm out intent on unloading it. All of a sudden BANG. Pop shoots himself in the leg. Mom totally freaks and off to the hospital they go. Needless to say dear ol' dad took quite a ribbing from his hunting buds. But hey, shit happens LOL.

But you didn’t.

Really shot yourself in the foot there, didn’t you?

Probably get e meritorious Service Medal and a full line of duty compensation/retirement...least he would if he's MTA.

I know a former LEO who reluctantly shared the story of how he once deployed his pepper spray while running, in the direction he was heading. He quickly learned why you do not do that

 

[Depick]

But you didn’t.

I would say that I dodged a bullet

 

[Dr. Evil]

I don't want to prejudge. Maybe his leg deserved it.

“The sacrifices and dangers faced by law enforcement officers serve as constant reminders of the challenges inherent in their commitment to serve and protect our communities,” said Haledon Chief of Police, Angelo J. Daniele, recognizing that the risks associated with duty are persistent, even during training.

He's a fuckin hero.

 

[Saltwater60]

Maybe they need to rethink who can take advanced training courses but hey the liberals say this is bound to happen right? Guns are dangerous and maybe they need the memo NYS is demanding.

 

[S&W Fan]

The instructor no less . A hazard indeed.

 

[Acer-m14]

And we are the ones that have to go get training so we can get a PP ..

FK Him .. to bad he missed the main vain .,. all 3 of them ..

That would be cost. When cost doesn’t matter look at what equipment units who are exempt from procurement rules choose.
