Antis will have a field day with this one:

3 Injured After Weapon Discharges During Red Ribbon Week Event At Chino Elementary School « CBS Los Angeles

Well I hope those families enjoy their well deserved new fortunes. And someone maybe more than one loses their job for being incompetent idiots.

Since the article said no one was actually injured via gunshot wound, I guess it is safe to say this is funny stuff. The irony of an ND at a safety presentation.

 

[ATM]

It's always "accidentally", every single report I read - as if "accidents" are the most common reason for unintentional discharges rather than negligence.

There should be a new standard of proof for unintentional discharge reporting: negligent until proven accidental.

IMO, a safety demonstration (especially in a school) should be done with an EMPTY weapon.

So children...when you are told that, for our safety, only police officers should be allowed to carry firearms because of their gun handling training and expertise--you now know this is complete bunk.

Now thank the kind but embarrassed police officer from the Chino Police Department for his urban legend debunking lesson today.

 

[cbhausen]

Yeah, "accidentally" my arse! Hence my thread title.

I'm sorry some were injured but I can't keep from laughing when I read in the article no gunshot wounds but lacerations. All I can wonder is How?.

I keep hearing that one officer saying... "I am the only one in this room professional enough to carry this glock 40...."Wonder if it was the sane guy?

 

[ViperJock]

I think you guys are wrong. The cop is not responsible. Just look at the title of the article "weapon discharges" it doesn't say anything about the cop....

beat me to THAT reference...

 

[Bennettjh]

Just imagine how dangerous it would be if ORDINARY CITIZENS could carry at a school.

I grew up in Chino. I attended Newman once a week for classes. Not all that shocked honestly.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Betcha the officer thought he had a blue gun. Betcha a new microtech.

Stampede to escape.

 

[TheWabbit]

Okay, family did some calling back to Chino. Here's what happened:

A kid stuck his finger in a motorcop's AR15 rifle holster and pulled the trigger. The leather from the holster hit the kids.

One thing about the Four Rules:

They work just as well for rank nOObs as they do for seasoned veterans.

Wait, maybe I have that backwards...

 

[Dirtebiker]

Where do you guys get "safety demonstration"? All I saw was it was at an anti drug event on the playground. And a kid pulled the trigger, not a cop.

Bet.

Where do you guys get "safety demonstration"? All I saw was it was at an anti drug event on the playground. And a kid pulled the trigger, not a cop.

The article linked in the OP has been completely rewritten and retitled since it was originally presented.

Cops were giving out stickers and whatnot. Kid went over to officers bike and pulled trigger. Stupid cop. Dosent anybody watch the videos before they comment
