Leave it to the FBI to mess up a good record for the gun club!
"Okay, I'll point this thing at my leg and pull the trigger." DUH! Hope the guy is alright, apparently he didn't hit any bones. |

Yes, yes , now it's all starting to make sense "Lapses of jugment happen" .After a training course! Is'nt that the same exscuse they used at Waco and Ruby Ridge? It's all in thier training.[pyro]

According to the report, Lorek said he saw Berkin pull the trigger and the gun fired, because "there must have been a bullet in the chamber." No sh!t, Sherlock! |

That will do wonders for his career- I bet he never hears the end of this- that guy should retire.

Those through the calf of the leg the long way wounds are pretty nasty due to the likelyhood of infection of such a deep wound. I worked with a guy once who had an AD with a .22. It went through his calf, same as the Fibby, and he nearly lost his leg.

I guess it really is true one rises to the level of one's incompetence. The second-in-charge of the Wisconsin FBI points his weapon at his thigh, without checking the chamber for loading status, pulls trigger and is surprised to be shot by his weapon. That paraphrase of the story sums it up. What a moron. And he's the second-in-charge moron. Leading other morons in the charge. Probably HRT. Maybe he's the one going up the ladder in the Waco video who shot himself in the other leg when drawing his weapon. Oh yeah, that was ATF. At least these pricks are sometimes as dangerous to themselves as they are to us.

[b]... before disassembling his weapon... told police that it's necessary to pull the trigger on the pistol to release its slide mechanism.[/b]
Bet this wouldn't have happened if they had stayed with Sigs. [:D] |

Under our Nation's Zero Tolerance policies, Agent Numbnutts should be prosecuted for the attempted murder of a federal agent. Or maybe he should sue. Damn, it's so confusing when right and wrong are blurred. Maybe he should get a medal and a promotion for discovering inadequicies in FBI training and equipment.

When those guys left our indoor range (closed while they were there)we found holes all over the place when they left! No wonder they want to be left alone. And they are gonna protect me? Glock or otherwise, following the rules (of engagement?) would have sent that round harmlessly downrange.

I am not a terribly big fan of the Glocks, but these cops and feds need to stop shooting themselves in the legs with them. Their idiocy has been giving the gun a bad rap for years now and they show no sign of letting up. Enough already!

Don't forget we now get to pay him a fat disability pension for an "on the job injury." Woo Hoo. At age 44 that works out to--a couple million bucks!!

One of my Army friends did a similar thing with his glock. He was starting to dis-assemble it while talking on the phone. But the barrel to the meat of his left hand ..... and put a nice hole through it. You know what his after-hours job was? Firearms safety instructor. Lucky for him, he only shot himself and not one of his daughters in the next room.
Safety first! Robert |

Proulx, who is not certified in law enforcement gun training... Ugh, this part irks me. They through it in there to make it sound like he has no place commenting on gun safety when it comes to LEOs. |

Overall, LEO's need much more safety training, IMO. |

If I am not mistaken, does not all manuals have the same red warning about disassembling a firearm. Make sure weapon is cleared prior to disassembling. I guess he did not read the manual.

[:D] Not trying to flame ya here, well okay maybe I am. Being a Glock fan I gotta ask, "Do you ever point your Sig at your thigh and pull the trigger?" Couldn't resist. |

Wish I could ask that reporter if Proulx should be trained by the FBI before being able to operate a range. |

I understand Larry. I wasn't refering to releasing the slide, I was just refering to pointing any gun at your thigh and pulling the trigger at any time. Just a dumb thing to do.
Why the hell am I so emotional about these anti-Glock post? I don't know, I'll tone it down. Sorry. |

There is only ONE safety that is effective 100% of the time.
That safety is located between one's ears. If that safety is not "switched on" - then NO mechanical safety is worth a dang! If it IS "switched on" - then lack of a mechanical safety presents no harm. cheers tire iron |
