Great Response by Range Officer

[BrokenolMarine]

And an example of why I always hated gong to public ranges.

Seen that video before. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be.

There just no accounting for stupid. And I'll bet his first words were "it ain't loaded."

You wonder how some people can even feed themselves, they are so dumb.

Maybe but notice the first thing the RO did was clear the pistol. Couldn’t tell if a cartridge ejected or not but what a tool. Cell phone camera’s just might be a leading cause of the end of civilization.

That was so stupid it made me cringe everytime they played it back!
Hope they banned him for life!

They banned both of those idiots for life from all TopShot ranges, according to what I read.

Great news Gunny! I hope you're right! Just think; those type of people are out there in public.
They should have to wear a blaze orange shirt that says, " I'M STUPID"

thank god for the range officer-he reacted quickly and correctly.
this could have gone downhill quickly, with "bozo #1" and "bozo #2" knowing more how to operate the selfie cam than a pistol.
i hate to think of what would have happened to them if this were a military training session on the range!

Old video. He did say his Glock was unloaded right before shooting himself.
“I’m the only one in this room professional enough, that I know of, to carry this Glock 40," says Paige at the :30 mark, followed shortly thereafter by his accidentally discharging the weapon into his leg (and luckily, not into the audience). He tried to tough his way through the presentation but his offer to display another weapon was met by howls of protest from the audience.

Amazing how many hits with a quick google search of instructors shooting themselves.

The first rule in our training department was NO firearms entered the classroom without the mag removed and the safety flag in the chamber, there was a big box of them at the doorway you pass thru leading from the lot to the range/classrooms. The flag stayed in place until you were on the firing line or exited to the lot, when you tossed them back in the box. Range Staff got loud if you violated the rule.
