As sorry as I am about what happened to this gentleman, let NO one tell you that "professionals" are the only ones to trust with guns. I've been shooting since I was 8 and never put a hole into anything I didn't mean to.

Complacency is a killer!
I always treat my tools like they are loaded, safety off, one in the chamber or in the barrel the hammer is pulled back and it’s got a hair trigger. Even when I know they are empty!

Don’t know what the feds are carrying. My older brother carried 5 days a week for LAPD for 17 years and never put a hole where he didn’t want it to go. Of course that bad guys put 2 into him, but he managed to go home alive at the end of his shift, so that counts as a win. I don’t own glocks, but have plenty of others, and never manage to shoot myself.

If I had to protect he-who-must-not-be-middle-named I’d be tempted to shoot myself as well...

Bitchen, I’m a licensed plumbing contractor and have a couple very good friends that are HVAC contractors. Give me call when you need a professional.
Mind if I’m packing heat?

He was probably informed of his next assignment...barry’s security detail.
Can’t say I’d blame him what so ever.

A government Secret Service Agent is recovering after accidentally shooting himself Friday morning. Lemmme guess, he's going to retire on a medical at 38 years old, with $85,000 per year in government pension, for the rest of his life, and all the peasants in the private sector will be forced to pay for it.
This is exactly what will happen...

My guess is, if said Secret Service Agent had been carrying a Colt Detective he would still have a holster without a hole in the bottom along with a hole-less leg
