How many things are wrong in this article about a ND?

maybe every person who has had a ND or AD shouldn't be able to buy a gun since there is a report on it as an example? basically that will not and should not happen.

That's going to far with it. Private ownership of a firearm does not oblige you to serve or protect your community, being a police officer does. And that means knowing how to operate the weapon. A incompetent police officer is a danger to his community and fellow officers.

SHADI,

I agree with your statement.
 
Something doesn't add up. Drop mag, clear chamber, try to reinsert mag, won't fit so pull trigger and gun discharges. If he did this in that order, how was there a round in the chamber?

Exactly. So what probably happened is . . .

He racked the slide to clear the chamber, then he dropped the mag. OUCH! It's amazing how getting those two steps out of order can really mess you up! :rolleyes:

I did something like that at the range pointing the gun down range.

Ass-u-me is a bad thing.
 
as a reserve officer on Monday...... he completed the required 40-hour prebasic training....That training, conducted in-house, includes firearms training, ....... Not being familiar with the Smith & Wesson Springfield .40-caliber handgun, although he said it was his personal gun that he also uses for work,

That tells me something is seriously wrong with the training. I'd have a "sit down" with the dude running the training. I'd want to know who signed this guy off as being qualified.
 
...he decided not to alarm any other parents by walking in with his firearm on his hip.

He also did not want to leave a loaded gun unattended in the vehicle.

He then attempted to put the magazine back in the gun but it didn't fit right.

I'm sure I'm missing something here, but if his plan was to unload the pistol and lock it in his car why would he be re-inserting a full mag back into the pistol? Wouldn't it make more sense to simply pocket the mag, lock the (supposedly)unloaded pistol, then go get his kid?

:confused: There's more to this than is being reported, I'm sure.
