This Would Be Embarrassing...!

Now let me see if I understand this correctly.

A professional law enforcement officer , even though wearing a holster, is carrying his side arm in his waistband...?? WTF ?

You would think that if anyone would know the risk of this, he would! Check this out...!

A police officer was injured when he accidentally discharged his weapon at an off-duty job in southwest Houston late Saturday afternoon, authorities said.

The officer arrived at his off-duty job around 5:25 p.m. at an apartment complex in the 10500 block of Spice Lane.

He was taking his pistol out of his waistband and placing it in his police holster when he accidentally discharged it, said Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties.

The officer suffered a minor injury when the bullet grazed him in the leg. He was treated at the scene.

No one else was injured during the incident and no further information was immediately available.


Now...this is just my opinion, but I'm thinking this fool is very lucky he didn't shoot himself in someplace important...if you know what I mean!

Seems to me that a little "firearms safety" refresher course is in order! Wouldn't you say?

Now, What say we get some fresh coffee and sit outside for a bit! I could use some...!
