Re: Woman fatally shot by FLA LEO during "Gun Demonstration"
Indeed.
A few years ago I attended a eight week (once a week) citizen's police academy that was put together jointly by two large local departments. (not Pgh)
(a) It was awesome and enlightening.
(b) We used a FATS simulator where the "bad guy" attacking us was on a video screen/wall and the handgun we used to confront them was a realistic simulator.
They demonstrated a tazer as well as "smoke grenades" and other such tools of the trade. This was done as we watched.
On the final night anyone who was interested could fire the three main firearms (handgun, shotgun, AR15) on the police training range.
This was done with one on one supervision - every "student" was paired up with a cop. It was all done safely and professionally - and with a large dose of "pro-2A" in case anyone was wondering.
I am speechless that a functional weapon was even permitted to be used in such a setting. I can't even remotely understand why, in this day and age, a real handgun would be used as a "prop gun" when there are probably dozens of inert training options readily available.
That said, as already mentioned, the single most basic safety check would have prevented this from even happening at all.
Horrible. Preventable. Sad.I called to check my ZIP CODE!....DY-NO-MITE!!!

Re: Woman fatally shot by FLA LEO during "Gun Demonstration"
I'm guessing the cop was the only one in the room that was professional enough to handle that gun?

Re: Woman fatally shot by FLA LEO during "Gun Demonstration"
This story doesn't make any sense.
I think there are facts that have not been released that will change the overall scenario.
Whatever the reason, I can't see how the officer won't be charged with at least gross negligence.How can you have any cookies if you don't drink your milk?

At 2:04 in video below: In news conference the Chief of the officer who (in my opinion) negligently discharged TWO ROUNDS from a gun and killed a citizen -- wants people to pray for all the officers that were involved in "this horrible accident."

^^^^ THIS X 1000. You use a blue gun. A finger. Whatever. You DON'T use a real gun. That you HAVEN'T CLEARED. That you then POINTED at someone. And PULLED THE TRIGGER. That's four strikes. Talk about epic fail; I don't think I've ever seen someone get four strikes at once.

New mandatory clearing-barrel process for firearm instructors /demonstsrators:
Option 1. Take out the magazine or not.
Option 2. Lock back the slide or not
Option 3. Verify the chamber is empty or not
Mandatory step 1. Point the pistol into your right or left ear.
Mandatory step 2. Squeeze the trigger.
Mandatory step 3. Cycle the action
Mandatory step 4. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
NOW you can teach the class.
