You beat me by two minutes. But my title was going to be "And you thought your HCP was bad?". Oh well. Maybe next time.

EDIT: Just like to say that Sportsman's Supply in Hixson, TN was superb. Class was taught by CPD's Range Officer (I think it was the range officer, been over a year and I forget). He was a great instructor.

Another unloaded gun that wasn't unloaded proving once again that not following the four laws of firearm saftey by ANYONE can bite you in the ass (or the arm).

Careless, careless, CARELESS.....  Lucky someone wasn't killed.....

And a handgun safety instructor "didn't know the gun was loaded". What is the abosolute 2nd thing you should always check with a firearm? I hope his permit to teach has been pulled. You can't fix stupid!!

Perhaps he was demonstrating to class what can happen if you don't pay attention when handling firearms.

I guess he got his point across! Now the lawsuits start.

• Rule #1 – All guns are always loaded.
• Rule #2 – Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
• Rule #3 – Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
• Rule #4 – Identify your target, and what is behind it.

Lt. Col Jeff Cooper USMC (Ret) 

RIP

 

 

I think Rule #1 is in order here.  :cool:

That's the first thing I thought when I heard an Ohio instructor shot one of his students.
