Be careful during training or testing any gun related product!
ND with testing holster retention Pa. deputy wounded in leg while testing holster READING, Pa. - Officials say a Pennsylvania deputy sheriff was wounded inside a courthouse office when his service weapon discharged while testing a new holster model. Berks County Sheriff Eric Weaknecht says two deputies were testing the holster to see if a suspect could pull the gun's trigger when the weapon discharged Monday inside the county courthouse in Reading. Deputy John Parsons was wounded in the leg and hospitalized in fair condition following surgery. Weaknecht says Parsons' gun had been unloaded during the test but was reloaded as the other deputy's back was turned. He says that deputy then reached for Parson's gun not realizing the exercise was over and pulled the trigger. No charges are planned in the case. Officials say the sheriff's department will stop using the holsters. |

dumbasses...the level of retardness in those two deputies is astronomical...  "testing" the holsters retention while in the courthouse?
Gun was unloaded and then secretly reloaded? The funny thing that they're already stuck in the courthouse. I guess they could still get banished to cleaning out the horse stalls for the mounted cops or something. On a side note, I heard a story about an incident recently at an agency that will remain unnamed which is in my area. Field training officer was sitting in his car in the sally port of the jail waiting for his probationary officer to book a prisoner. PPO left his gun in the car and went into jail. FTO picked up gun and was finger F'ing it. "Supposedly" he was unloading it so he could field strip it so he could then "test" his PPO and see if he knew how to put it back together. Apparently the FTO basically glock legged himself in the thigh with the gun while field stripping it. Not sure if the gun was actually a glock or not, but im guessing so by the fact that he shot himself in the thigh doing a field strip. |
