Some smart cracker said that. This federal agent should have: A federal agent was injured at Orlando International Airport on Tuesday when he accidentally shot himself in the foot while trying to catch his weapon.

Let it fall: a federal agent explained that everything was a terrible accident, he assured how his fire arm was going to fall and as he intended to reach for it the .40 caliber discharged, wounding his brother as he walked in front of him. As I’ve said before, that should really be rule #5 […]

That’s been an occasional meme here at SayUncle. And it may save a life. I’m glad to see it picked up elsewhere too. Paul Markel writes about that exact same thing in The Tactical Wire: Whether you are an individual shooter, trainer, or range safety officer you must understand and address the dropped/fumbled gun possibility. […]

A book in the works to do that. Insert only dropped once joke.

That’s what they tell us. But it turns out, a day after the Navy Yard Shooting, gun control support dropped to it’s lowest level in a year.
