Denver off duty FBI agent drops gun and has negligent discharge

[RVTECH]

Off-duty FBI agent allegedly shot a man accidentally after gun falls on dance floor in Denver bar

Another use of the word 'accidentally' when 'negligent' should have been used.

Darn guns always going off on their own....

It will be spun:

"See, if highly trained and professional federal agents cant not shoot people in public, it's obvious that civilians have no place keeping or bearing arms."

 

[MrMillspecer]

Always pick up your pistol by the trigger while it's pointed at someone after you drink and breakdance and drop it . It only sounds bad until you learn he's a trained agent. Makes officer Doofy look safe.

You see how that trigger safety works ? FBI may want to retrain their breakdancing routine and firearms handling.

That's one FBI agent who should be filing for unemployment benefits Monday morning, nothing less should be considered acceptable.

If your going out to get hammers and act the fool, leave the sidearm securely locked up at home...

Just another example of utter failure at the FBI... Must be one of Comey's boys...

I have been impatiently waiting for a Trump tweet on this.

Just another avenue to dig at his friends in the FBI.


And why isn't the NRA all over this saying citizens are just as responsible if not more so than the govt with firearms safety

One of my cousins was a detective in Eugene for many years. We got together last summer, after a few beers and I got to hear all kinds of stories about ND's and AD's. The funniest ones were where guys were shooting at each other from miscommunication on stake-outs or raids. They would actually hit each other once in a while, stuff like that doesn't make the news unless it's fatal, especially if it's a range or locker room mishap.

It's like race car drivers, those guy might be the most talented drivers out there but they wreck more cars than the average guy ever will. When a firearm is a tool, like a hammer and saw to a framer, something you use everyday, there are far more opportunities for a mishap or to get complacent.

Not defending the guy in the above story at all, some guys shouldn't be issued firearms, my cousin also confirmed that. Just saying those incidents aren't necessarily rare but are rarely reported or documented.

Military folks have some great stories too (or not so great)......

Bullet in my thigh....

'He should be fined'??? The reporter says !! He should be CHARGED with at least offenses!!!!

Sounded to me like she said police said the man who was shot in the leg should be fine.

Bullet in my thigh....

All the other kids with pumped up kicks,
You better run, butter run
Outrun my gun....

I'm old enough to remember when the FBI was looked up to as the paragon of law enforcement.

Yeah.....I thought I saw that too.

But.....it will probably be blamed on the gun.

Must have been a .40 S&W .

 

[Capn Jack]

I could be wrong but I'll bet there will be a 'twist' on this in an attempt to dissuade the agent as somehow not ENTIRELY being at fault.

Those darned GLOCKS !!

 

[Cavedweller]

Must have been a .40 S&W .

Perhaps he was just grazed.

Dang Glocks always going off by themselves....

 

[No_Regerts]

Must have been a .40 S&W .

No, remember? FBI went back to 9mm because all of the sudden, after 116 years, it meets the standard!

Another example of why 9mm should be considered as a less-lethal munition.

I have no issues with the guy relaxing and having some fun. But ... he should have stashed that handgun first. Will he be subjected to equality under the law? That is the big question.

All retired firefighters and cops have stories to tell.
