A man who signed on to become a Clark County sheriff's deputy accidentally shot his wife to death in Tualatin on Sunday, according to police...His first day of work was to be Dec. 19, but his hiring has been delayed pending the outcome of the investigation.What, you mean there's still a chance they'll let him become an "Only One"?

David;
It wasn't his fault. according to the news report the Pistol did it.
"Mr. Osbrink was practicing drawing his pistol from a holster
WHEN IT UNINTENTIALLY DISCHARGED as his wife entered the room, striking her in the abdomen area.
The pistol didn't mean to do it, it just happened. Maybe the pistol should issue a mea culpa?
1) Treat EVERY gun as if it's LOADED.
2) NEVER Point the gun at anything you don't want to destroy
3) NEVER put you're finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire.
4)ALWAYS be aware of YOUR Target and what is behind it.
My 6 year old knows and complies with these safety rules because she has been drilled and trained constantly. She can recite them upon command.
If my 6 year old can learn and follow them what about the only ones?
Just for the record, Ryan had more training and practice with firearms in his little toe than any of you twats will ever have - so let this be a learning experience for yourselves and quit this condescending ass bullshit like you’re somehow more knowledgeable about the subject than he is. Maybe the thought process should be - “ohh shit, if this happened to this expert, I should be even more careful. My prayers go out to this Marine and his family. The worst day of his life for earning the bronze star was just beat by the new worst day of his life.”
What scares me is I live pretty close to where this happened. If he is hired and starts his "only one" career, there's a chance that one day I might be pulled over by him.
And hardcorps there's no excuse for ignoring the four rules. This wasn't an accident, it was/is negligence pure and simple. Apparently his training and practice, as much as you claim he has had, are both severly lacking.
I apparently don't have as much training and practice as he does, and even I know it's stupid to practice drawing a loaded gun in the manner he was. Yes, I was being sarcastic.
Hmmm...perhaps it wasn't an accident after all...
Your head is so far up your ass. You're so fucking stupid and ignorant that you don't even know you know nothing about the incident or the people involved. I hope nothing this terrible ever happens to you, but as you sit behind your keyboard and write insulting, smug remarks about a war hero and a good man, I hope you pause to think say a prayer for them - honestly. Do that first, and maybe the Lord will give you inspiration to realize there is more to this than what a fucking asshat journalists wrote. Kim was his high school sweetheart and a very sweet nice person and she is gone.
If you give no mercy or sympathy to others, why should anyone show you any?
As the son of a Marine, the father of a Marine, and with 20 years of service under my belt as well, I find "hardcorps" posts offensive and depressing.
Ryan Osbrink was a hero, a firearms expert, and a good family man with a wonderful wife, but that doesn't take away from the fact that he destroyed both his family and his law enforcement career in a moment of negligent inattention which was entirely his own fault. There is nothing insulting about pointing that out.
Further more, if "hardcorps" has ever served in the Corps, he has dishonored himself and his own service, as well as losing the respect of this family of Marines for his failure to maintain fire discipline on his tongue and his demonstration of gross disrespect for his superiors. Filth has no place on a Marine's uniform, his character, his honor, or his behavior.
To all the real Marines out there, (excluding "hardcorps) Semper Fi, and God bless Ryan and his family during this terrible time.

10th Mountain, you got rule number one wrong. It isn't "as if it is loaded" It is EVERY FIREARM IS LOADED.
Hard Corps. You're an idiot. Shut the fuck up if you don't have anything intelligent to say.
Everyone of any humanity at all feels badly for this family, but that, in no way, relieves, the killer of his culpability. He did kill his wife. He did so after all the training you say he had. Yet, I haven't had all that training or a rooting section such as yourself and I have had firearms for more than fifty years. I have yet to kill anybody by accident.
The only condescending attitude displayed here is yours. Go commit a physical impossibility on yourself.
I felt that people were kicking him when he was down and had this attitude of "my shit doesn't stink."
I do apologize for being offensive, but I was truly distraught all day yesterday. I knew him personally a few years back the events are so tragic I was just so pissed... Yes he made the biggest mistake of his life - but isn't that quite obvious? He is a good man, he's not an 'only one.'
Gaviota - Sir I get upset at how Marines have been treated through this war. Too many of the them are killing themselves when they get home and it seems like no one in the country, especially the media cares. They risk their lives and get paid pennies and they get home and it's just ohh hey your back lemme process that paper work. The Corps is filled with the PC police and asinine endless CYA. And Ryan goes over there, risks his life twice, looses his best friend - and is truly upset about it when he talks after getting his medal - and now this happens to him and all these bloggers can write about is the gun safety rules??? There's so much more to this story than that. I won't apologize for how I felt yesterday, but I know it could have come out better.
SA good on you for always following the rules - I have so far too.
Apology accepted.
I remember how we were treated after Nam, and although I felt somewhat vindicated after the 1st Gulf War, we still had problems with the stateside REMFs who exist to make life difficult for those on the tip of the spear.
Remember your fire discipline, Marine. You will always be under fire from someone, somewhere, whether in the Corps or out. Pick your fights carefully, and don't shoot the guys next to you.
The Osbrinks were my sisters roommates a few years back. I met them briefly a couple of weeks ago. I do not think anybody needs to kick him while he is down, he is probably doing that right now more then anybody else could. I sincerely hope that he finds peace eventually and manages to salvage something of his young life.
That being said now it is time for the learning experience phase. Drawing and especially dry fire practice are very common training methode. They also fly directly in the face of the 4 fundamentals of firearms safety unless they are done at a range. If you are set on using these methods at home to improve your pistol craft I would suggest one simple and reliable method for making sure your semi automatic pistol is safe. After clearing the firearm lock the slide back. Take a zip tie and put it through the slide into the barrel then attach the two ends together, ride the slide forward then tighten. Practice as desired. This may seem redundant and cheezy but it makes sure that A) the gun is not loaded and B) the gun is not going to become loaded. I wish Ryan the best and hope that we can all learn something from this sad event.
