We’re the Only Ones Unretentive Enough

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?

Don’t Sweat the Details

“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.

We’re the Only Ones Negligent Enough

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.

We’re the Only Ones Professional Enough

Law enforcement official accidentally shoots himself on campus of Lead Hill School District… Richey says the man is a licensed law enforcement professional and is legally authorized to carry a firearm on campus. [More]

The old Lee Paige excuse is a classic.

We’re the Only Ones Looking Bad Enough

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…?

We’re the Only Ones De-Ranged Enough

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.

We’re the Only Ones Dry Firing Enough

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.

The Memory Hole

“You need to know about guns,” Dad had said. So, we took a thick board out back and leaned it against a tree. Dad pulled out this shiny pistol. “Here,” he said. “It’s not loaded.” I reached for the gun. With no warning, the thing went off with a huge bang and blasted a large hole in the board. I may have yelled an unpleasant word. Dad was just standing there, all calm and fatherly. “You said the gun wasn’t loaded!” I screamed. “Everyone says the gun’s not loaded,” Dad replied. [More]

What a dangerous, @$$hole thing to do to a kid.

Where the Grabbers Get Those ‘Women and Guns’ Statistics

A Tennessee mother is mourning the death of her teen daughter after police said that she accidentally shot and killed her while rummaging in her purse for her keys. [More]

It sounds like being oblivious to how things work and not taking any one of several appropriate available precautions made her a walking IED.

I’m just not seeing acceptance of responsibility.

Quite the opposite, in fact…
