Another great story from Kalifornia.....the trainer worked for the Sheriff's department.
Told guy to unload the firearm. The instructors inspect them and then the instructor did a "Trigger Test"?
Is that how you see if the firearm is unloaded?
That is their most important part of their job every day.At least the cop went home safe.
Point at the nearest perp...er...dog...er...civilian. They get those mixed up all the time.https://www.yahoo.com/news/man-training-gun-permit-instructor-174444992.html

The injured student is a county employee, but not a cop. The instructor who shot him is a civilian employee of the range. Neither the instructor nor the victim are cops. Pretty fricking stupid situation, no matter how or who.
Are you saying civilians should not be allowed to have access to dangerous weapons? I consider all my guns dangerous and I'm just a civilian.
Story says it was a civilian instructor. Regardless, You don't check to see if it is empty by pulling trigger and not pointing it down range. I can't recall because it has been awhile but I thought the TSA Pilot's Qualification ended by instructors verifying empty with the slide locked back and then shooter releasing slide on empty gun/no mag. I can't recall if protocol is to pull trigger on empty gun. We would have to take every pilot up to firing line and go thru a procedure to verify empty gun and they would have to don their holster and mag pouch. It was a very confusing process but auditors from TSA would ding you if you did it wrong. Hell, I couldn't even have coffee on the range.
I wouldn't trust the head engineer at any gun company if I haven't personally shot w/ them. I don't care what your credentials are. I can show you neurosurgery hacks & rocket scientists that crashed 2 space shuttles.
Some (LEO) agencies won't hire those with too HIGH an IQ. True story.Maybe he was checking to make sure it wasn't modified below pull weight standards. Some agencies dont allow modified triggers

I remember the 60 Minutes profile of the guy who sued a police department in Massachusetts (IIRC) for turning him down solely because his IQ was too high. That was decades ago.Some (LEO) agencies won't hire those with too HIGH an IQ. True story.
Many businesses and govt agencies used to routinely give IQ tests to screen candidates.How do the hiring agencies determine IQ scores?
What was the bar for IQ being too high?I remember the 60 Minutes profile of the guy who sued a police department in Massachusetts (IIRC) for turning him down solely because his IQ was too high. That was decades ago.

I have no idea how common the practice is today.
I don't remember, exactly. I seem to recall it was about 140 but don't quote me on that.What was the bar for IQ being too high?
I haven't heard that. How do the hiring agencies determine IQ scores?
Glad they had a TQ around.
Wow, I believe that's genius level.I don't remember, exactly. I seem to recall it was about 140 but don't quote me on that.
