Accidental to the foot according to first responders

[ECShooter 0]

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.

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

thats never good

You don't say.........You have a sublime talent for stating the painfully obvious.

That range is for law enforcement only. Not open to the public.

well there are other causes... shooter's tired & points the pistol down on the floor to relax. blam

LEO range? belt holster drawing.... blam

LEO drawing from ankle holster.... blam

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.

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!

[silverado427 10,731]

finger control.

[Melgamatic 66]

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.

Once again Son......You don't say!

Incorrect.

 

I'll edit to show that mcrpc is not law enforcement only. The range on 33 is.

[jamesbod 0]

Incorrect.

maybe it was a newbie who shot the foot of the shooter in the next stall...

[CAPTBIL3 10]

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.

[JonF 79]

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.

Hope they're okay.

see what happens when LEOs use glocks and not 92fs?

[NJSlick 0]

Incorrect.

 

How so? Pretty sure all the times I was there it was used for official use only.

[hd2000fxdl 422]

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..

Where is MCRPC? Never heard of that before...is it a club or a range too?

[remixer 1,645]

My question is did they save the foot?

Do a search on these forums, lots of info. It's a club. MCR&PC.

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]

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.
