LiveLeak.com - Kentucky cop shoots off finger after gun store clerk hands him loaded weapon

Cop's stupidity aside, what kind of store keeps a display firearm loaded?

Was in a diving store , and they had a loaded rail gun ( spear gun ) on display . Almost as dangerous as a loaded gun . The store owner was pretty imbarrased when I pointed it out .

Lucky it was his finger not the guy beside him.

That's one or more fails really lol. Was it loaded by a staff member? Why? Why hadn't it been picked up when chamber checked (though it doesn't appear they bother) Or was it a trade-in that had just been chucked in the display case (why wasn't it checked before being put away? Had it been 'tinkered with' by some bubba-type?)

Sooooo much fail

There's a stunner on YouTube just recently, a us cop shot himself in the gut, in an elevator, while showing off his pistol for a girl. It just makes you shake your head

Stupid is as stupid does.

'Merica!

Although its hard to see some of these French Elite Counter terrorism squat are armed .
I hope no one had one up the spout while they put themselves in harms way while scaling this massive obstacle .
It takes years of training and dedication to be this good .

Pretty simple really isint it or am I missing something?

1. Treat every firearm as loaded

Check every firearm yourself.
Pass or accept only an open or unloaded firearm.

2. Always point firearms in a safe direction

Loaded or unloaded, always point the muzzle in a safe direction.

3. Load a firearm only when ready to fire

Load the magazine only when you reach your shooting area.
Load the chamber only when ready to shoot.
Completely unload before leaving the shooting area.

4. Identify your target beyond all doubt

Movement, colour, sound and shape can all deceive you.
Assume colour, shape, sound, and shape to be human until proven otherwise.

5. Check your firing zone

THINK: What may happen if you miss your target?
What might you hit between you and the target or beyond?
Do not fire when you know others are in your firing zone.

6. Store firearms and ammunition safely

When not in use, lock away the bolt, firearm and ammunition separately.
Never leave firearms in a vehicle that is unattended.

7. Avoid alcohol or drugs when handling firearms

I can think of one with initials "GC".

I can see 5

1. Gun left with rounds in the mag on display
2. worker not cheeking to see if the gun was loaded
3. cop not cheeking to see if the gun was loaded
4. not pointing the gun in a safe direction
5. touching the trigger when not wanting to shoot

I guess 5 is a little hit and miss as he may have been cheeking trigger pull etc but others still apply
