Well at the very least new under britches. I would have ****ed myself. SWAT conference so he was probably wearing 5.11 pants. Those aren't cheap.

I've always been taught that there's no such thing as an 'accidental' discharge, but then again I can understand the department wanting to put as good a spin on it as they can for the media. The officer's fortunate nothing worse happened. It just goes to show how necessary constant training is.
A hush fall over the crowd as we all wonder aloud when Kirk will ask if the poster has heard about his 870 in Alabama . . .
That's what people who've gone down....and people who fire off rounds by mistake tell themselves to make themselves feel better.
Neither are inevitable, but in the case of bikes, it's up to more than one person, so it may be closer to accurate.
If you resign yourself that "it's just going to happen no matter what", I'm sure it will.

Good call! I looked through General Firearm discussion and didn't see anything. Assumed that's where it would land!A little late to the party

Didn't need to be. How does a firearm moving to the rear press a trigger to the rear when clothing contacts it?...so you were there?
I'll play drums!Booger Hook and the Bang Switch. Great name for a band
Damn I miss the early 90's! (Not really!)Hmmm, coat I can see...but pants? Was it Ptl. M. C. Hammer?
If it was Hammer, maybe he can now sing another tune:
My my Glock hits me so hard
Makes me say 'oh my lord'
Thank you for just grazing me
So that I've still got two good feet
Stop! External hammer time
External hammer time, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh
so I don't shoot my own leg and yell oh, oh, oh-oh, oh.
**Drops mic, walks off stage**
Sophomore album: It hurts when I pee!Hell yeah, their debut album could be negligent discharge.
Although discharge is just not a good word...
INGO noob, standing by to be schooled, Grandmaster.
slam fires happen. We need to be aware of this fact so we can take countermeasures.

No kidding, there I was in the wilds of Langston, Alabama, all alone, except for everyone else in the class and the instructors, doing one handed reloading drills behind cover.
My weapon, the Remington 870 re-worked by Scattergun Technologies (yes, I am old, so what) the "FBI Model". Safety on, I load one round of Remington #00 into the weapon and close the action, without the trigger being touched (one hand on forearm, one hand behind back), the weapon discharges.
I had the round to Clint Smith. He runs his finger over the primer and then shrugs his shoulders. No idea what caused it. I switch guns to another ST 870 but that gun checks out OK, I even take it to the gunsmith to ensure that I did not miss anything. The gun is fine.
Point being: slam fires happen. We need to be aware of this fact so we can take countermeasures.
