Anti-gun sheriff shoots self

http://bearingarms.com/anti-gun-sheriff-negligently-shoots-hand/?utm_source=bafbp&utm_medium=fbpage&utm_campaign=baupdate

It appears as if the antigun sheriff needs a bit of an education regarding safe operation of a firearm.  The guy is a menace.  He should step down.... not necessarily because of the accident but because he is anti-gun and managed to shoot himself, with a gun.

Number 1 rule in gun handling,  "Never point a gun at anything you don't intend on destroying."  (That would encompass not putting your hand in front of the muzzle.)

Another important gun handling rule is, "You cannot clean a loaded gun".  The good sheriff must have forgotten how to do that properly as well.  Yeah, so here is a law enforcement officer who may be called upon to protect you and he is "iffy" with his gun.....

Oh gee, even I know better than that. And a sheriff no less. But as a sheriff you would think one of the qualifications would be learning how to operate a gun whether you are anti gun or not. lol
