Deputy Shoots Himself In Leg
Man Was Removing Gun From Car Trunk

STUART, Fla. -- A Martin County sheriff's deputy confiscating a gun from the trunk of a car accidentally shot himself in the leg, authorities said.

Deputy Daniel Foote was investigating an assault complaint at a condo complex Monday night, and a woman he was questioning acknowledged that she had a gun in her vehicle.

When Foote went to remove the .38-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver from the trunk, the gun discharged and a bullet struck him in the left leg, according to the sheriff's office.

Deputy Foote?

:rofl:

Okay, back to watching the LHC coverage.

And I gotta tell ya - these things happen. Only guy I ever met who got thrown out of a crackhouse.....

teach them how to safely handle firearms!

It doesn't require a degree in mechanical engineering to unload a revolver. You have to be a real doofus to shoot yourself with one.

Or very poorly trained.

and I honestly can't imagine how the hell you could accidentally shoot yourself!

I think that I would rather have them believe that it was self-inflicted rather than accidental.

What a Barney Fife. This is comedy gold.

:rofl:

Listen closely - right before he shoots himself, he tells the assembled students how he is the "only one in this room qualified to handle this weapon."
