"Gun safety presenter shoots self
ORLANDO, Florida (AP) -- A federal drug agent shot himself in the leg during a gun safety presentation to children in what police describe as an accident. His bosses, however, are still investigating the incident.
The Drug Enforcement Administration agent, whose name was not released, was speaking April 9 to about 50 adults and students organized by the Orlando Minority Youth Golf Association, witnesses and police said.
He drew his .40-caliber duty weapon and removed the magazine, according to the police report. He then pulled back the slide and asked an audience member to look inside the gun and confirm it wasn't loaded.
Witnesses said when the agent released the slide, one shot fired into the top of his left thigh. The gun was pointed at the floor.
The agent was treated at Orlando Regional Medical Center and returned to work, a DEA official said."
...to the butt of other agents jokes...

Because you never know when you might have to shoot your way out of a sand trap?
just remember, guns don't shoot people in the leg, people shoot people in the leg

No self-respecting Southerner would ask someone to hold his beer while firing a gun. Maybe a cigarette, since the smoke will get in your eyes sometimes.
But never a beer.
