An officer accidentally shot himself in the ankle at the Arizona Law Enforcement Academy Monday morning. [More]I suppose if I pointed out that "negligently" might be a better word, or that this is yet one more example of police not being the "Only Ones" professional enough to carry guns, it would all be academic?
And I guess it's not in the public interest to know exactly who on the force represents a demonstrable danger to himself and others?

The ghost of Lee Paige strikes again!
How the heck can you shoot yourself "while the weapon was holstered during training" for crying out loud? That's a neat trick!
I would think that if this is within the bounds of probability, these sort of "accidents" would make the cost of insuring the facility quite a bit higher. That's the way it works at public shooting ranges.
Someone explain this to me: if I have to demonstrate basic proficiency before I am issued a phony permission card, why aren't academy applicants required to do the same before they are even considered? That's like showing up for the driving course without even having a regular driver's license.
Oh right, this is nu-Constitutionalism, where equity means some people enjoy your rights and property, but you can't reciprocate.
