Oops! NRA instructor shoots student during CCW class
An NRA certified instructor who was giving a CCW class to three students in Orlando, Florida accidentally shot a student in the foot. The bullet first went though a table before hitting the student in the foot. Thankfully the student in doing well, but the NRA, who prohibits ammunition during these classes, said they had no problem revoking the certification of an instructor who is breaking the rules. Unfortunately the accident also prompted the church that was serving as a venue for the class will not be hosting any more similar events.
Remember basic firearms safety rules people and accidents like this will not happen.
1. All guns are always loaded.
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.Thanks Col. Cooper!
shouldnt you be citing the NRA safety rules?
1- ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction
2- Keep your finger off the trigger until you intend to fire
3- Keep the gun unloaded until ready to use…

They don’t seem to work as well (i.e. see above).
