[QUOTE="bigfug, post: 2106322, member: 4864"] Bottom line is, any time a gun is handled, there is an inherint risk taken. That risk goes up when the gun is loaded, and if anyone is handling a firearm that they are unfamiliar with, and the condition is unknown (chambered or unchambered, safety on/off), I think the risk increases tenfold. The more that weapon is handled the more opportunity for an accident to occur. I have seen officers handled unloaded weapons with fingers on the trigger, or flashing people with the muzzle, with booger picker both on and off. I understand they just cleared their chamber, but accidents happen, and that one time they dont, you end up with a situation like what happened at OCSO's mini academy last week. Thats why we (gun owners) train so hard to break bad habits. [/QUOTE]
