Negligent discharge during a class

[JMS]

his accuracy wasn't great either.

Presupposes knowing where the victim was in relation to 1) the target(s) being fired upon and 2) the position of the shooter as he fired.

Trying to shoehorn facts (or lack thereof) to fit a conclusion, instead of letting facts lead to a conclusion, isn't a particularly good idea, unless one wants a career writing editorial columns for the NY Times.

Plus, why would it even show up as a blip on one's Give-A-Rat's-Ass Meter....given the circumstances, whether or not he's a highly accurate safety violator isn't the center of gravity of the problem.

If that's how it went down, it's straight up inexcuseable. There were multiple glaring errors, both procedural and judgemental, on the part of the "instructor," and I really don't see much in the way of extenuating or mitigating circumstances -- assuming of course that the above account accurately reflects the facts.

...and he was back teaching another class the next week. If I'd just shot my AI I think I might take some time off to reconsider some stuff.

You're joking, right?

Nope. On another forum there were dudes bragging about having taken part in the class.

Not the first time this instructor has generated controversy...in below trailer, he demonstrates some questionable techniques.

WHOA. I am not exactly a high speed individual but I don't think that you need real life downrange experience to say that jamming the trigger of an AK with your thumb while it is cradled in your arms and you are SHO shooting a glock is a good idea. WTF.

The wonderful thing about the Internet is that everybody gets a place to give their side of the story, no matter how creepy they are.
