Attempted Assassination of Bulgarian Politician - Gun Jammed

[East_TN_Patriot]

A Bulgarian politician today survived an extraordinary assassination attempt when a man stormed the stage and held a gun to his head as he was giving a speech.

Fortunately for Ahmed Dogan, leader of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms, the weapon misfired giving him time to react and hit the would-be assassin's hand out of the way.

Perhaps it will mandatory issue here under Obama's gun laws.

It looks kind of like one of those little Beretta pistols.  If it was, the likely problem wasn't a jam, but he forgot to chamber a round.

Gas Pistol?

 

From - http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jan/19/bulgaria-gas-pistol-politican

 

Tsvetan Tsvetanov, the interior minister, is reported to have said that the attacker tried to fire two shots but "most likely the gun misfired". However, other reports suggest that the weapon was a gas pistol, a non-lethal weapon used for self-defence, which can cause serious injuries when fired from close range.

And not one of the "security" detail hand a pair of handcuffs or zip ties????? If they were that unprepared I won't even ask why nobody else had a gun............

HAHA welll i can tell you it wasn't a glock... they guy would be dead right now... oh and i love the before and after pic...priceless ...

His so-called security team should be replaced with people who actually like him.

Was the security detail hourly or something? I could trust a squad of Boy Scouts to do a better job. At least they'd be prepared with some zip ties and perhaps tools for disabling an attacker. Stupid Bulgaria.

Terrible situation, but could you imagine what would run through your mind as the guy at the podium? I woulda probably had a stroke on-site.

Terrible executive protection team. There is no reason why a attacker should have been able to get that close to the principal.
