Those are my tax dollars, take a phuckin Uber or a taxi!
And these are the humans responsible for the protection of the most powerful man on the planet, weāre not going to make it!
Thats why you pay attention. Because apparently, she had her mind on other things. Wondering if she was trying to upload it 
. Just Saying.
What? An āexpertā had a negligent discharge???
Never.
And everyone on here is perfect and never made a mistake or done something stupid before!!!
She was told she was the last DEI hire, (kidding)
she thought they said she had to DIE! (Sarcasm)
Why would you say that? Weāre not held to the same HIGH standards as the secret service 
She was a trainee, now probably without a job.
Dumbest statement of the day award winner.
Not really unusual.
In the Stone Age, I was a cop. During firearms training, I asked the range officer, āWhat sort of ammo should I carry?ā I expected a lecture on the differences between 38 special, 357 and hollow points v wad cutters. The answer was āMark. Most policemen who are shot are shot with their own gun. Donāt carry anything that you would mind being shot with.ā
Over the years, that ājokeā turned out to be true. Most of the policemen I knew who suffered a gunshot injury were, indeed, shot with their own guns. Lots of negligent discharges, fooling around, and loss of control over oneās firearm.
Think what you want Iām not thin skinned I just get tired of people judging that probably couldnāt walk a mile in her footsteps. If you carry your standards should be just as high and if her mistake was a dumb one that is unacceptable they will cut her.
Maybe when she heals she can be assigned to AOCās Squadā¦erā¦not THAT Squad,
ā¦umā¦her Protection detailā¦ oh nevamind!
What did 'Pocahontas once quip?
āNever let a good Accidental Discharge go to wasteā
Statically ND can happen in any environment or Communityā¦ so such incident is not a big dealā¦
But Iām trying to understand the thinking of the person saying:
[ā¦]a switch from the SIG 357 (which was more user-friendly) to Glock 9mm platforms.[ā¦]
What exactly is more user-friendly here? 
Regarding high standards, anyone that is a responsible carrier of a firearm should have the same high standards regardless of occupation. The four basic principles apply whether youāre a janitor or a veteran of a 3-letter agency. That bullet doesnāt give a about any of the stuff we describe ourselves as. Pull trigger, bang happens. Itās that simple.
(Seriously). What happened to basic safety rules of precaution(s): Trigger control/keeping your bugger hook off the bang switch until you are ready to shoot, and muzzle management/not sweeping it on anything that you are not willing or intending to destroy including yourself in part or whole.
Like if not using your off hand for support, park it on your chest like during the civilian salute doing the pledge of allegiance to keep from shooting your own hand.
FAFO video clip: Brilliant gang banger had a jam while demonstrating how handy he is with a gun. Every time he made an attempt at clearing his jam he held the muzzle to his off hand 
palm and pressed the trigger several times without the gun firing, until it did!
Iāll bet that hurt a lot, and likely cost him the function of that hand.
I wonāt ask what was he thinking because, obviously he was not.
Another gang banger video showed him spinning his gun around on his finger inside the trigger guard like a Wild West cowboy gunslinger in an old Western movie.
He won a Darwin Award for National Selection when he blew his lees than astute brain out.
Both could be on the Al. Baldwin shooting team.
I donāt know about the alphabet soup agencies but, in the military before we made our first trip to the range we had safety classes first without any weapons in the room, then hands on the weapon, without any ammunition in the room, then put the two together on the range keeping the weapons pointed down range regardless if loaded or not but, always considering them loaded regardless.
We had thousands of troops familiarized, and qualified with our weapons without incident.
But, we were also disciplined to follow directions/orders and did.
We obeyed the Range Control Officers. When to pickup and put down (ground) the weapons, when to load and unload them, when to commence and cease firing. Simple. No FAFO moments.
What are the alphabet soup agencies doing?
I just looked up what the secret service was using and it was a Sig p229, da/SA, so Iām thinking the author felt that initial hard squeeze makes the gun more user friendly. Ironically the Glocks they switched to are double action, but donāt feel like it, itās just two safeties disengaging on the trigger pull. I train with mine weekly, sometimes 5 different Glocks/holsters in an outing. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. I got the slow part down, and still havenāt shot myself.
Yeahā¦ But they switched from SIG 357, which is not 229 
Iām guessing whoever wrote it had no idea about 357 being a caliber, not handgun model ā¦ but I doubt that one caliber is more user friendly over anotherā¦ 
Yeah, that was strange. I made sure to type āSig 357 PISTOL secret serviceā in my Google search. I also donāt find my da/SA guns more āuser friendlyā. Au contraire when the first squeeze is totally different from all the rest.
