A retired federal agent rehired by ICE as part of Kristi Noem’s mass recruitment push accidentally discharged his gun in a hotel room, firing one round through the wall that came to rest in the headboard of the bed in the room next door.
There was a tactical shooting range outside my city that ran three day courses like a shotgunners course, run and gun handgun, western freestyle, etc. When you arrive on-site the instructors are quick to get you settled into your assigned solid brick hotel room and point out ALL the divots in the wall that represented some idiot discharging their weapon. They didn’t fix the divots, just painted over them.
The second thing they say is that there’s no such thing as an “accidental” discharge. If you discharged your weapon outside of designated areas without permission from an instructor, you were immediately sent home with no refund and those courses weren’t cheap or discounted on Groupon.
I’ve seen grown men cry as they had to do the walk of shame back to their vehicle.
