Well....I cant say that I blame him but he is in fact GUILTY of shooting himself in the foot on recorded tape.  Let the brass....err....chips fall where they may.

More proof the DEA is a sad joke perpetrated on the American people. That they did not fire this loser blows my mind. It also makes me question the training they give these "agents" before they let them loose on the public.

Before I read the article, I thought to myself, "I bet he carries a Glock".   Sure enough, it was a Glock .40.  

His lawsuit is pretty stupid, though.

Glocks are definately NOT idiot proof.  

Beware when you handle a Glock, it might actually have a BULLET IN THE CHAMBER muhahahahaha :cry

Actually there is an old chinese saying "treat every gun as if IT WERE LOADED" muhahahaha :cry

dude just couldn't handle being in front of a classroom full of admiring students...

... just like the young helicopter pilot some years ago who was delivering a package to an all girls college forgot himself while walking from his chopper surrounded by an admiring audience of young women ... walked right up a slight rise in the lawn and got the top of his head sliced off.  Both should have known better.

I saw this DEA video some time ago.  This guy is obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed.

buddy of mine has a friend whos a copper....

was taking out his motorcycle the other day, on the way to work.

police issue glock on the right hip, "unloaded" clip removed on the left hip.

bit of wetness on the driveway, gives it some gas, and bike does a 360, dumps him on his side, and BAM... shot a round through the front tire.

lucky as he11 he didn't shoot himself in the leg, neighbors called in a gunshot, he had to report himself, and got repirmanded for it.

Yep, you can shoot yourself with a Glock, as well as 100s of other models of firearms.  Nothing would have prevented this except safe/safer handling of the firearm.  He pulled the trigger with a live round in the chamber while holstering the firearm.  The firearm did what it was designed to do.  No mechanical device is 100% idiot proof and this guy was real close to being 100% idiot....

The shooting occurred moments after Paige told the children that he was the only person in the room professional enough to carry the weapon.


This is one of my favorite arguements to hear from pompous police officers who think that private citizens should not be armed.

I've been handling and shooting firearms since I was eight years old. (over 30 years)

Never shot myself, nor anyone else for that matter.

So, who's the 'professional' that should be the only one trusted with a gun?  He's just plain stoopid lucky he didn't shoot a kid!

Thanks but I'll trust in my own abilities before I trust in those of Special Agent Einstein there.

Operative word in his case must be 'special'.

Someone should find and post the video of this tard.


The part after he shoots himself and then reachers for the m4 is great, the whole class screams.

He's suing the DEA for releasing the tape, not for actually shooting himself.


If I were the defense during the trial, I would just show the video hundreds of times to random people err, "witnesses" and ask what they think.

Yeah, this tape made the rounds here more than a year ago, I think.

Funny that he shot himself, funnier that he still tried to teach the class, funniest the classroom's reaction when he went for the AK.

You can find the video here.

It does not look like he was even holstering it, he puts his other hand on it and it goes off. The guy is an even bigger retard.


I don't think the other rifle is an AK.

The DEA in my limited experience with them aren't all that bright. They showed up at my house one night with an arrest warrant for some woman I never saw before (or since). At one point one of the agents says...Our informant told us she lived in a pink mobile home. So I say....just a second....and step out the front door with the DEA agents following me. I start looking all over the outside of our mobile home and one of the agents says.....what the *bleep* are you doing? I said.....I'm looking for some pink paint. He says.....oh..we have a smart arse on our hands....I said...no, we have a bunch of color blind morons on my property.

Our home is dark red mind you.....
