Gun Safety Reminder — LAPD Accidental Discharge
As described here, On March 5th, a 9 year LAPD veteran accidentally put a bullet through the wall of his home while cleaning his gun. The typical pattern is as follows:
- When first handling a gun, a person is either very safe or very unsafe.
- Shortly thereafter, people tend to practice relatively safe gun handling skills
- Some time after that, people become lax and accidents happen.
Next time you are handling a firearm, take a moment to focus on keeping yourself focused — there is no excuse for an unsafe negligent discharge.
