An officer reportedly accidently shot himself today at a gun range in Westport on Adirondack Lane that is used by local police departments.

According to an officer who was on scene, an off-duty officer shot himself in the thigh with a 40 caliber bullet accidentally as he was putting in or taking his gun out of the holster.

The incident occurred just after noon.

Looks like guns DO shoot people.

It was a 40 so it’s only a deep bruise

 

[EddieZoom]

Fo-Tay...it's not for everyone

 

[gerrycaruso]

Everyone already knows what would happen to a civilian who did that and who pays that big medical bill?

 

[MagGus1820]

Surprised it didn't just " go off".

 

[Quantavious G]

.40 is just too much gun for some people

 

[mothybee]

Musta been a white supremacist, they hate cops too.

 

[ScottS]

Surprised it didn't just " go off".

This.

The gun didn't "accidentally discharge," he "accidentally shot himself." Quite a refreshing change, actually.

I just hate it when my "weapon" goes off. By itself.

 

[DPR]

How perfect would it be if it was a P320 in fotay?

 

[Patrick M]

Lawsuit, my gun magically went off by itself!

 

[CRSIII]

Was there a dog humping his leg?
Why’d he shoot himself? What?

 

[alpineboard]

Faulty trigger guard.

 

[not new guy]

I wonder what the oh-shit-I-shot-myself-in-the-leg rate is among cops as compared to non-cop gun owners who carry daily.

 

[1903Collector]

Wonder if was using a Blackhawk Serpa?

 

[kalash]

Is drawing from a holster allowed at this range? I couldn't find the rules or even what it's called.

Police are civilians, regardless of how much they want not to be.

Such rules would not apply to them anyway. Special class.

 

[DispositionMatrix]

This.

The gun didn't "accidentally discharge," he "accidentally shot himself." Quite a refreshing change, actually.

Negligent discharge.

Tex Grebner, Westport Police! LOL

 

[WanMan99]

The only question is, who is he going to sue? Surely it is someone/thing/companies fault that he shot himself in the leg.

 

[xtry51]

Sounds like someone needs a lot more training.

 

[Romokid]

Hopefully his training kicked in and he called his mom.
