Florida Policeman Kills Volunteer in 'Shoot/Don't Shoot' Demonstration

This wasn't an "accident". It was a negligent discharge, and the responsibility for it goes far beyond the Officer in question. The weapon should have been downloaded and cleared under supervision. A better way to mitigate such a risk is to secure all weapons and use "red" guns during these exercises. This incident shows major flaws in the departments training safety.

YOU are responsible for YOUR firearm.....I would think you would be extra vigilant and double check everything when the public is involved, I know I would. Unfortunate is a broken ankle or bad cut....Not Dead! Sorry, NO passes with firearms and carelessness with me.

As a wise and ornery(weren't they all) range NCOIC once told us in basic "You will treat every weapon as loaded in training no matter what the circumstances "I think somebody screwed up on fire arm safety here pretty basic stuff.
