What struck me the most, however, wasn't the actual ND itself. It was the convoluted description as if gun handling is some sort of complicated and intricate skill.Cpl. Chris Huskey was reloading his weapon after showing the Glock handgun to Deputy Adam Bohanan when a routine safety maneuver led to a bullet firing through a computer monitor ... to and through the wall of a walk-in freezer and lodging in a pack of frozen bologna, ...
Anyway, I've heard those Glocks randomly go off anyway, so it is probably not his fault. He's just lucky it didn't randomly KABOOM on him all by itself!Huskey, a seven-year veteran of the department, went through an elaborate process taught to every law enforcement officer to safely clear a weapon. It involves ejecting the magazine and removing a single bullet that is loaded into the chamber. He then handed the weapon to Bohanan, who looked it over and reloaded the magazine to feel the weight difference between the weapons, a report on the incident states.
After Bohanan — who started as a deputy in 2006 — passed the weapon back, his recollection of the events indicates he reminded Huskey to reload the bullet into the chamber. Huskey did so, aiming the weapon away from himself and Bohanan, and performing an action called racking the slide where a mechanism that covers the chamber is pulled back and released to allow access for loading the ammunition.
“I did not realize (Bohanan) had put the magazine back into the firearm and, while pointing the firearm in a safe direction, I pulled the slide back and released it, then pulled the trigger to get ready to reload the firearm,”
I wonder if while he was reloading he was saying, "I am the only person in this deli professional enough to handle this Glock fotie."
