Another Cop Menace to Society

or shoot himself in a gun store with other customers in the line of fire,

Saw that one the other day, losing his finger. Man, what a fuck-up by both parties. A cop should always know to verify the gun is unloaded...but man, every hand gun I've ever looked at to purchase from a gun store, before it was handed to me for observation, the guy behind the counter either handed it to me with the cylinder open, and checked prior to handing it to me, or in the case of a semi-auto the magazine was pulled out, and the chamber was cleared and checked before handing it to me.

I can't fathom how a bullet was in that chamber. Clerk that handed him that gun should be fired.

I'm copying your response and commenting on it in the Gun thread, Kid -- just because the video of the incident is there for reference.
