Actually, he did a flip, the firearm came out, and he negligently discharged it when he picked it up. Poor holster choice, poor choice to be armed while drinking/partying, and poor training. One of the big 4 rules of firearm safety is you keep your finger off the trigger unless/until you are ready to fire.

But according to disarmament minded leftists, only law enforcement needs to be armed. Sorry, when they continue to demonstrate "skills" like these - I'll keep my firearms and count on defending myself.

Was he drunk, or rather was this FBI person drinking while armed? In my state it is against the law to be drinking while carrying.

More embarrassment for the FBI. Sad what has happened to a previously respected institution. If those dedicated career FBI agents (who are actually the kind of agents we are proud of) want to save their agency, they need to step up. Or, they can continue to be suppressed and serve under the unethical, narcissistic, agenda-driven ‘leadership’ of people like Mueller and Comey, who just leave the FBI and make huge bucks ‘consulting’ or working for their huge law firms. Don't serve selfish morons. It's never worth it.

FBI.

The criminally organized, terrorists and our all so corruptible political elite must be laughing themselves silly.

". . . releasing the agent to an FBI supervisor."

That's probably who he was dancing with. Tepid reprimand letter in his personnel file to follow.

So an FBI agent accidentally discharged his firearm. Can’t the agent just claim he was in fear for his life?

He doesn’t even go to check where that round went.

1) You shouldn’t allow your feet to go over your head while carrying.
2) Ever heard of a thumb-break holster?
3) Why in the world was your finger in the trigger guard unless you were ready to shoot?
4) Drining while carrying is almost a universally stupid idea.

This fool needs two weeks of “dummy time” on the range.

Goes without saying that if YOU or I were dumb enough to be put in the position of the ‘FBI ‘agent’’, we would be UNDER the jail with such charges as discharging within city limits, discharging in an occupied building, consuming alcohol while imbibing and whatever else they could pile on.

So this horsespattuti gets turned over to a supervisor?

At the scene or AFTER being arraigned? (sarc)

A guy walks into a bar with a loaded handgun...

Sounds like the beginning of a joke, but of course its anything but. Talk about bad judgement.

Should be charged convicted and jailed of negligence. And fired.

An off-duty FBI agent accidentally fired his gun, striking another patron in the leg,

...

He didn’t seem concerned at all that he shot somebody.

His behavior from beginning to end was inexcusable.

There is no such a thing as an accidental discharge. This was a negligent discharge.
