TYT: Gun Safety Instructor Shoots Pastor

[WhoIsNumberNone]

In a complete shocker that no one could have predicted, during a gun safety demonstration a person was shot by the gun safety instructor. He was role-playing knife attack when things took a turn for the worse... Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola (Think Tank), hosts of the The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.

"A California pastor was accidentally shot during a gun safety class earlier this month.

Instructor Phillip Rushing of the Personal Protection Institute in Modesto had just replaced his rubber training gun with a real pistol at the end of class when someone asked about how to handle an attacker with a knife, the Modesto Bee reported.

Tom Smith, a family pastor at The House Modesto who also helps with church security, volunteered to act as the attacker. During the roleplaying scenario, Rushing pulled out his weapon and shot Smith in the waist, above the hip, the paper said.

Smith is recovering after surgery.”*

1. Love how gunners refer to training to kill people as a Gun SAFETY class.

This session we will show you how to shoot someone with a knife.
Next session we will demonstrate how to shoot an unarmed teen.
Then, we'll discuss what to tell police.
Gun SAFETY my rear.

4. Dear Pastor Smith

The phrase is "turn the other cheek", not "turn the other barrel on him".
