An off-duty policeman accidentally fired his handgun inside a Georgia bank while showing if off to a loan officer interested in buying a firearm. [More]
I love how the most recent comment from a "Sgt" blames the negligent discharge on firearm design by "betting it's a Glock".
Anyone who relies on a manual safety to keep themselves from negligently discharging a firearm should not be allowed to carry. :P
I left a comment stating that the officer should be placed on desk duty and remain unarmed until such time as the officer completes a gun safety course. If this were to happen again and someone got hurt, I'd think the department would be liable for gross negligence and possibly wrongful death.
Can ordinary mortals carry in banks in Georgia? Is he a devotee of the practice of carrying with the chamber empty in case someone takes his gun away and tries to shoot him with it, and therefore "knew" his chamber was empty, except it wasn't this time? Can you imagine having to engage in a sudden gunfight and only then think about whether you'll go click or bang?
