Notes from the Resistance
More law enforcement agencies reconsider use of popular Sig Sauer P320 handgun [More]
This has been going on long enough— and continuing — to raise legit doubts. Is there a design flaw or are negligent dischargers jumping on the blame Sig bandwagon?

How is that even possible?
People in the home reported being woken up by the sound of a gunshot. They found the 4-year-old and a 2-year-old child at the foot of Young’s bed with the weapon. Young, who admitted to keeping the gun under her pillow every night, was the only person in the home who owned a firearm, police said. [More]
And she slept through that? Anybody do a blood test on her?
Tell me this isn’t the best reason ever to force “safe storage laws” on you and me.

You can hear her say, “Oh my God … it’s all I needed.” She’s then heard saying, “Alright, let’s just all start [inaudible] … they said they’re all ok and then we’ll … If we put it out on the radio, it’s going to start chaos.” [More]

Hey, the rule says keep your finger off the trigger. It doesn’t say anything about TWO fingers… And she shot him in the leg. Talk about a “Hold my beer, Lee Paige” moment…
She’s been fired. No word on if she’s eligible to apply in another department.

This afternoon on the elementary playground, a young student managed to access the Student Resource Officer’s secured firearm and discharge it within the SRO’s holster into the ground. [More]
Another reason why highly trained police officers should be the “Only Ones” armed in “gun-free zones,” right?
Did he have his bodycam on?
And whatever happened to this bill that would have required:
The personal body camera shall be continuous in its operation while the peace officer is in the performance of his or her duties and shall be worn in such a manner that all audio and video images of his or her contact with any person is digitally recorded.
Anybody up on what the law currently says on that?

“I really want y’all to remember D’Angelo for who he was and not what happened… [More]
But what happened is exactly what the prohibitionists will use to force lock-up-your-safety edicts on the rest of us.
And what does it mean, “Police don’t know where the child found the unsecured gun”? Did they ask the person urging everyone to forget about “what happened”?
If these people did journalism, we’d have the backstory.
A San Antonio police officer has died after his service pistol accidentally discharged, according to Chief William McManus. Officer William Kasberg was preparing to enter a state-mandated ALERRT training and was gathering his items when his weapon accidentally went off, striking him, according to SAPD. [More]
That’s twice they’ve blamed the gun.
That seems to be longstanding SOP.

Like not having to learn the rules of safe gun handling before picking one up and pointing it at people…?
So Poland selects shooting competition judges based on how many of the rules they can break? I can see the “Certain Ethnic” skit now…

Marion County deputy arrested, says he accidentally shot girlfriend to death while cleaning guns… “I know this looks really bad,” Boileau said, according to the arrest affidavit. “I told her I did not want this to happen…I did not want to train her in the (expletive) house like this.” [More]
Blaming her is a better look…?

The woman whose gun went off inside the Costco near Kalamazoo works for Michigan State Police. [More]
At least she didn’t violate any policies:
Costco policy prohibits firearms and other weapons to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law-enforcement officers.

Jail inmate hit by bullet from nearby FBI target practice – Jail staff found vehicles on the complex also hit by gunfire from the training exercise [More]
And several cars were hit as well, meaning multiple negligent discharges by these morons?
Look at the Detention Center and range in Earth view and you tell me how they managed it.

Tangentially related, I remember years ago some guy on Facebook challenged my pointing out “James Bond’s” booger hook on the bang switch, saying he’s friends with a Tier 1 operator and they are so well trained they don’t need to follow that rule. As I recall, Matt Bracken corrected him and the guy got hot and insulting until I pointed out he was taking a poke at a SEAL.
ELIZABETHTOWN MAN SHOOTS TEEN IN HEAD WHILE FILMING VIDEO [More]
Plus he’s a “prohibited person” and the gun is stolen…
Except for the fact that shooting his victim in the head didn’t hit any vital organs, he still seems like a hands-down favorite to win… Nothing but a completed homicide should be able to beat him now.
According to court documents obtained by ETonline, the 66-year-old leading man engaged in “horseplay” during firearm training, including one instance when he fired a blank round at a crew member, whom he’d been using to establish his line of sight. [More]
Maybe that was his initiation to join NoRA…
