Re: Plano officer shoots suspect trying to activate light

That is sad. Especially since the police department says they don't find fault with the design of the flashlight.
Could have been worse for all of us though. It could have been a CHL that did this.
We need to realize that if LEO's might use their firearm or tactical gear improperly despite their training. We are even at a greater risk of making a mistake like this with our tactical gear because most of us have little more than 10 hours of classroom time before we are let loose on the world of self-defense.
I encourage all of you to really consider my words concerning how you use your own tactical gear, and especially your firearms. Know your gear, practice safely and get consistent with knowing points of failure concerning both your gear, your tactics and your body, especially your trigger finger.
