Fresno Detective killed by fellow Officer

[clearconscience]

Tell me again how only Officer's can safely handle firearms.
I say that condescendingly, However, I'm a huge supporter of LEOs and this is extremely tragic. What a horrible situation and now two lives are ruined, one ended.

Sad. God bless and comfort those affected.

All guns are always loaded.
Never point the gun at anything you are not willing to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target (and you have made the decision to shoot).
Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

I am aware of two accidental discharges. One happened right next to me. Luckily the muzzle was pointed away. Both times the people were preparing to put their guns away. The other time the guy shot a hole in his trunk. No one was hurt but the smallest distraction can kill.

Can't imagine what everyone involved is going through right now.

That's so sad! You really want to watch people who handle loaded firearms on a daily basis!
Familiarity does breed contempt! Or, at least, carelessness!

Bless both families!

And those would both be NEGLIGENT discharges.....not accidental.....

See?!?... Ya got me started

Yeah, it's so tempting to go on about safety rules and so forth but it's been said here and doesn't need repeating here. The shooter is in for a rough couple of decades of grief and guilt. Then there are the family and friends of the victim. Just awful all the way around.

Man, and I have requals tomorrow. Maybe I should update my will......

I really hope both families can find peace and closure to this tragic incident.

It never fails that the old saying rears it's ugly head.

Complacency kills.

And unfortunately it usually kills someone innocent.

I can't imagine having to live with something like that. I don't think you could. Knowing that man's family is hurting and will never see their loved one again.

I know I couldn't.

Its that trigger thing. It can be a real b*tch.

This could be an issue where muscle memory is not your friend. Very sad event. Safety, first, last and always.

How utterly tragic and horrifying! This man will suffer for his negligence to his dying day.

My prayers are offered up for all concerned. My God give them all peace.

Or this could simply be a case where stupid is as stupid does--
A trigger isn't a toy-toy, if you wanna fondle something just reach into your pants

 

[clearconscience]

Could be another issue of I thought it was empty?

My stepbrother did this in a police station putting new sights on his Glock. Went to disassemble and pulled the trigger. .45 through his foot. Was lucky with that.

Someone smart commented on it earlier. Complacency kills.

We probably all do it in certain ways in our fields. I know I do. Working with electricty, ladders, lifts, chemicals, etc. it's hard not to get comfortable with your everyday tasks, However, when you dealing with firearms you only get the chance to get it right, went you get it wrong it was you or someone else's last chance.
