Ouch. That sucks.
Career ender, that one.
oops
Don't be to sure of that. I know of an FBI agent who was a fire arms instructor at Quantico teaching in the basic class. Upon returning to the class room after firing on the range he was instructiing the students on fire arms safety, when his weapon discharged hitting an agent in the front row, going thru him into an agent in the second row (a female). Both survived but I don't know if they fully recovered to go on duty after graduation or not. He however was not fired and went on to another duty station(s). I knew him before he went to the Feds and worked with hom for a while after he retired. He did his full tour (30 yrs?) dand retired at mandatory retirement (after 2 age waivers). SO, maybe some crap details foonr a while, then carry on as usual.Quote:

She'll probably end up as the Secret Service Director considering the Obama Administration's track record and whom she's leaving unsecured weapons laying available around.
