Yeah, that's kind of where my "he should of at least engaged the target" comment came from...
The part that would save his life would be putting rounds on target, then collapsing in a heap while on the phone with his mom?
Any idea if he did a facebook status update before calling 911?![]()

I just read through this thread top to bottom and I fail to see where anyone explicitly states or even implies that they are advocating the enactment of legislation or regulation that would require the demonstration of proficiency with a handgun prior to purchase, or anything else related to the use of government force to prevent things like this from happening.
Saying that someone has no business around firearms and saying that the government should regulate who can buy/own a gun based on some theoretical proficiency standard are two very different things.
There may be other threads that actually show this suggested disconnect in stance, but I don't see it at all in this thread.

I'm going on about 10 years of daily carry and weekly training with a Serpa and no issues. Course I was taught to keep Mr. Finger off of Mr. Trigger until you are ready to fire.
To me the most dangerous holsters I've ever seen is the "push..then pull" retention holsters. I can't tell you how many LE guys I've seen fumble with them during stressful practice. They won't cause a ND, but they might cause an unintentional round received.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.

So the problem with the Serpa is a training issue, but the problem with the push/pull is something else?
Can you cite a specific make/model of holster you're talking about? Are you referring to the police-style triple retention holster like the Safariland Model 070?

I wish I had of had some training when I shot myself. I didn't have any so I didn't know to call my mom. I just wrapped the wound up to stop the bleeding. 'Bout a week later it started bleeding again, a lot. The Principal who must have had some training called my Mom. As it happened my Dad was home and he came to see what the matter was. He examined the wound and rolled the imbedded bullet ( well, actually a BB ) around until it was under the hole, mashed a bit and popped the BB out like an overripe pimple. Got some blood and pus too. Didn't even earn me the rest of the day off. Good to have some training. So you know what to do when you shoot yourself.
I got some training there, I was taught to keep your booger hook off the bang switch until you are ready to fire. I guess that's the same thing.
I gotta get some more training.
What I liked was the way his britches inflated when he fired the shot.
He's lucky he didn't blow his damn knee off.
