Dollars to donuts the pilot was playing with it. Weapons don’t “accidently” discharge without someone pulling a trigger. In all my years of being around weapons I have never had one discharge without some input from me.

Can't go into it, but suffice it to say, there is actually an extremely good reason for this. I am not sure what happened, but the possibility of AD is a part of the classified process, without anyone "pulling the trigger."

For the record, this group of LEOs have the lowest number ADs of any Federal Law Enforcement group - in fact, it isn't even close.

Your statement sort of implies that you are knowledgeable of the process- Do the pilots choose their weapon, or is it selected for them? If the latter, what is the specified weapon? (If you can say.)

I think it was the pilot, not a LEO.
