I hate this kind of shit because many non-gunners look at this and say "well this guy was a trained professional and he seriously injured himself with a gun, imagine what non-military and law enforcement would do to themselves on 'accident' with a gun in there hands!" It just spurs the "OMG GUNS ARE SOOOOO DANGEROUS!!!" movement.
