Weapons Safety Instructor's Gun Goes Off During Class

[The Reaper]

This idiot's pistol did not "go off", accidentally or otherwise. He negligently discharged it by pulling the trigger. I would hardly call him a "Safety Instructor".

How many people have not yet learned to leave the ammo outside the classroom?

Weapons Safety Instructor's Gun Goes Off During Class
Tuesday, May 20, 2008

NEW BEDFORD, Mass. — A firearms instructor in southern Massachusetts has been assigned to other duties after his gun accidentally went off while he was teaching a class on weapons safety.

Officials say the Glock handgun discharged while Maj. Donald Lamar was demonstrating to Bristol County deputy sheriffs how to safely holster the weapon.

The bullet ripped a hole in Lamar's pants but missed his leg and foot.

Sheriff Thomas Hodgson says the officer made a "gross error in judgment" by not emptying the weapon before the class last week.

Lamar, a certified firearms instructor since 2005, was transferred to another division and will not carry a firearm while the incident is being investigated.
