I can not help but think , that maybe, that if the gun safety teacher had been a better teacher, that would not of happened.

When I took my Gun Safety Class and went to the firing range to fire the pistol , for the shooting test, I was suprised to see that the board across the range that you rest your gun on had bullet holes in it, were guns accidentally went off.

The Gun teacher was negligent, in having a bullet in that gun or any gun in that room, he should of had all of his guns empty before, any new student walked into that class.

I think firearm safety has been a chronic problem with Onondaga County law enforcement. They've been trying to blame Glock for years for their own negligent behavior.

Sometimes all the safety precautions and instruction in the world cannot prevent a dumbass from doing dumbass things. Had a guy next to me in a CCW class do almost the same thing, luckily no one was hurt. He was quickly yanked out of the firing line. He was an old man and when we finished and were leaving the instructor was "instructing" him one on one.

When signing up for a concealed carry class, writtten notification was given that

  1. A pistol and ammunition were to be brought to the course location;
  2. Students would line up and present their UNLOADED weapons either in a holster or in a box for inspection before entering the classroom;
  3. Ammunition was to remain in vehicles;
  4. If any weapon or ammunition was discovered during inspection or in the classroom, automatic expulsion sans refund would result;

My initial reaction to the fact that the instructor donned a vest before starting the inspections was amusement until I thought about the number of accidental discharges that occur each year, and that the instructors had no way of knowing whether any given student was a yahoo or not.

Not only what you mentioned, but pointing at a concrete floor and pulling the trigger. Are we talking Darwin candiates here or what? Do they think a bullet will magically stop the moment it hits concrete or steel, if there was a round in the chamber?
