Firearms Instructor accidentally shoots finger

In Minnesota where 66 year old Fred Peterson was showing his wife a new .38 special handgun.

Ole Fred, a firearms instructor, holstered the weapon, whereupon his wife asked if he could pull the trigger while the gun was holstered. Fred tried while he held the holstered gun in his left hand. Shot his damn finger, he did.

He explained, “The gun was pointed in a safe direction, but my finger was not in a good spot.”

Petersen is an NRA-certified instructor for classes required to qualify for a Minnesota concealed-carry handgun permit, apparently a job that requires a double digit IQ. Kinda makes you wonder how Fred lived this long.

Gotta love it... Those NRA-certified instructors always know what's best...

Par for the course. How excited do you get if somebody blows off their head? Do you get a tingle up your leg when you see carnage at an automobile accident?

Schadenfreude right LJ? I would imagine you would party hard if "W" had a stroke.
