The First Rule of Firearms Instruction – Don’t Shoot Your Students
« on: October 04, 2014, 03:03:57 PM »
If the first rule of Fight Club is “Don’t talk about Fight Club,” the first rule of firearms instruction is “Don’t shoot your students.”

While that rule may seem so obvious that it’s laughable, when experienced firearms instructors grow complacent, seemingly small violations of the safety rules can lead to their violation of that first, most important, rule.

Instructors shooting students has happened before in both civilian and police training, and unfortunately it happened again yesterday when a Pennsylvania State Police Trooper was reportedly killed by his firearms instructor.

According to this news report, 26-year old Trooper was shot by an experienced firearms instructor during a demonstration on how to “break down his weapon and place the disassembled pieces of his 10mm glock on the dash of his vehicle during a traffic stop” when the gun “somehow misfired.”

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.  I carry a lot of ammo because I cant run very fast.

If anyone wishes to contribute to this officers memorial fund, I placed a link. 

Nebraska has one such event going back some 15 years.    Tragic.
