If you are an FBI Agent, don't pack and dance.

What's this guy doing packing in a Bar? Sure I know undercover, but not for long.

1D10t....

 

He pulled the trigger it didn't discharge until he picked it up... FBI agents are authorized to carry their service weapon off duty... which I assume he was, but he needs to practice his back flip a little more!
I hope he is no longer in the Department.

Rancher

 

He is being charged. His career is done.

 

Accidental Discharge.

 

Can a monkey "like" this more than once?

 

Some people's duties require to be on call or available 24/7

I agree, no accident. modern firearms have safeguards, unless the finger follows through until the sear releases the firing pin or hammer travel is blocked. A few models m8ght discharge if dropped altering / changing parts (trigger jobs) . the only reason I mention this is for the accidental readers context, All moving parts require proper pressure to operate as designed. Drop in trigger kits / spring kits from reputable companies should not be a problem, but there is always that one time dirt cold improper lubricant and an accidental discharge could happen.

This is why agencies have an approved firearms list and for many it is mandatory to supply agents or officers their weapons and no personal weapons are allowed or limited. some departments go as far as to supply or approve holsters and other equipment due to liability safety and security concerns,

I do feel for him, I hope the victim is not permanently harmed as well I know this agents career is shot (pun intended) but hopefully his life is not ruined. I fear that once lawyers are involved he and the victim and agency cannot iron it out.

I don't think Dancing with the Stars will take him but, Hey he could practice and get on the Voice, after If he makes a hit record he can say it's "number one with a bullet" -- Sorry I couldn't help myself,

 

well accidents happen, especially with alcohol and dancing involved

so FBI guns don have safeties?

 

many striker fired types don't have one... most alphabet orgs now carry such... YOU are supposed to be the safety ...

so I guess... nope?

 

Yet another reason Springfield's X models now come with a decocker. a safety and a hammer.
Then it's all up to the operator.

 

No Glock is safe unless it has a grip safety!

 

Nope...failing to properly maintain, clean and lubricate a weapon is still negligence.

 

That’s the stupidest thing ever. A guy dancing.

 

The safety, on any weapon, is between the ears, 'nough said.

 

Yup, even a revolver can malfunction if not maintained and that is the operator's job.

 

The generally designation for AD is no one was injured, OTOH Negligence is when a bullet meets the flesh.
Or so I have seen in a certain write up. Along with divers over the side looking for evidence.

 

In context, like Mike Rowe states, "it's a dirty world out there" the longer your in it you find your weapons act like a magnet. barring keeping them in a hermetically sealed bag in the bush, it's hard to properly maintain them when your not back at the ranch.
