ECShooter 0 Posted January 24, 2013 I would wager that this is a new gun owner, no experience, bad safe practices, etc... So many newbies out there that rushed to buy a gun, it wouldn't surprise me. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Cops also have accidental discharges I'll also take a guess. Shooting yourself in the foot may have been caused if the shooter points the barrel down while he or she has a finger on the trigger & racks the slide to reload or clearing a malfunction Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rightisright 3 Posted January 24, 2013 I prefer the term Negligent Discharge if it's due to shooter error. Accidental if it's a malfunction of the gun. In any case, I hope the guy/gal is OK. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melgamatic 66 Posted January 24, 2013 I would wager that this is a new gun owner, no experience, bad safe practices, etc... So many newbies out there that rushed to buy a gun, it wouldn't surprise me. Not a great bet. We haven't taken many new members in 6+ months, so the victim or shooter is probably not brand new. However, they do retired officer recertifications on Thursdays (great income for the club), and that's where I'd put my money! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Melgamatic 66 Posted January 24, 2013 Accidental if it's a malfunction of the gun. No such thing. Any gun you own or control should be able to magically fire AT ANY TIME and not hit anyone. If the gun was aimed at a foot, it's negligence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jamesbod 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Once again Son......You don't say! maybe the shooter wanted to shoot his/her foot...LOL did you remotely considered that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candide 0 Posted January 24, 2013 That range is for law enforcement only. Not open to the public. Incorrect. I'll edit to show that mcrpc is not law enforcement only. The range on 33 is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamesbod 0 Posted January 24, 2013 Incorrect. maybe it was a newbie who shot the foot of the shooter in the next stall... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CAPTBIL3 10 Posted January 24, 2013 Try drawing your duty weapon from a hoster in freezing temps like this with tons of layers on and then trying to holster back up, not that easy. Hope this persons ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonF 79 Posted January 24, 2013 If the shooting was not at the private club, Please edit the title. MCRPC isn't even on rt 33 so if the map is accurate, it was at the county municipal range for police/fire, etc for official use only. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hd2000fxdl 422 Posted January 24, 2013 Ok not to make light of this and I sure hope who ever it is is ok, being it seems that isn't not a life threatning injury to the foot from what's been said. So before someone else get it out there and you know it's going to be said: Wonder if it was one of thoes Serpa Holster.. Or a Desk Pop done wrong..

KpdPipes 388 Posted January 24, 2013 No such thing. Any gun you own or control should be able to magically fire AT ANY TIME and not hit anyone. If the gun was aimed at a foot, it's negligence. He didnt say anything about this shooting all he spoke of was the difference between :"Accidental Discharge" and "Negligent Discharge" Even if the rules are followed precisely and there are no injuries, The fiream still Discharges, and sometimes those really ARE caused by malfunctions of the firearm.

matty 810 Posted January 24, 2013 Was it a GLOCK????? Just kiddin, that is the Fire Academy & Mon Co Police Academy has a range there. Hope he/she is all right Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TK421 2 Posted January 24, 2013 Was it a GLOCK????? Just kiddin, that is the Fire Academy & Mon Co Police Academy has a range there. Hope he/she is all right Perhaps Brick cop? I think their safety manual instructs then to: rack the slide, drop the mag, pull the trigger and call 911. LOL. So far I think three of them have shot themselves in the leg trying to clean their Glocks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
