And to think I used to live there. Oh wait…that’s typical of that area—I forgot.
NEW BEDFORD - A firearms instructor for the Bristol County Sheriff’s department has been given other duties after his gun accidentally discharged while he was teaching a class on weapons safety.
Officials say the Glock handgun went off while Maj. Donald Lamar was demonstrating to deputy sheriffs how to safely holster the weapon. The bullet ripped a hole in Lamar’s pants but missed his leg and foot.

Guess they should have stuck with the old .38 police special, huh? Or maybe the instructor should have remembered to unload his frickin’ weapon before the class began, you think?
That is absolutely inexcusable. It’s just sheer blind luck that someone didn’t get seriously injured or killed. I’ve been trained and certified on several different types of fire arms over my lifetime so I know what I’m talking about when I say the man should be relieved from duty on a permanent basis. Does that sound cold and heartless? Just ask his pants what they think.
I’m sure that training session was a particularly effective one though.
